Answer:
Types of polygon
Polygons can be regular or irregular. If the angles are all equal and all the sides are equal length it is a regular polygon.
Regular and irregular polygons
Interior angles of polygons
To find the sum of interior angles in a polygon divide the polygon into triangles.
Irregular pentagons
The sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°. To find the sum of interior angles of a polygon, multiply the number of triangles in the polygon by 180°.
Example
Calculate the sum of interior angles in a pentagon.
A pentagon contains 3 triangles. The sum of the interior angles is:
180 * 3 = 540
The number of triangles in each polygon is two less than the number of sides.
The formula for calculating the sum of interior angles is:
(n - 2) * 180 (where n is the number of sides)

The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the present age of Jane be "x"
Let the present age of her sister be "y"
<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>
present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)
x = 5y ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>
Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y
Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x
Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)
Substitute eqn 1 in above equation
Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1
x = 5(9)
x = 45
Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
