Question

How many sides does a polygon have if the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 5940

Answer 1

Answer:

Sorry for my handwriting

Answer 2

The equation for the sum of interior angles is given by:

$180(x - 2) = sum$

where x is the number of sides of the polygon.

$180(x - 2) = 5940$

$180x - 360 = 5940$

$180x = 5940 + 360$

$180x = 6300$

$x = \frac{6300}{180} = 35 \: sides$
