Question

Find the sun of the interior angles for each polygon

Answer 1

Answer:

360

1080

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the sum of the interior angles of any regular polygon by using this formula

(n - 2) * 180

where n = number of sides

For the square: the square has 4 sides

To find the sum of the interior angles we simply substitute 4 for n in the formula

Formula: (n - 2) * 180

Substitute 4 for n

(4 - 2 ) * 180

Subtract 4-2

2 * 180

Multiply

= 360

The sum of the interior angles of the first polygon is 360

For the second one:

We will repeat this exact process the only difference is the value of "n"

The polygon shown has 8 sides

So to find the sum of the interior angles we simply substitute 8 for n in The formula

Formula (n - 2) * 180

Substitute 8 for n

(8 - 2) * 180

Subtract 8 - 2

6 * 180

Multiply

= 1080

The interior angles of a 8 sided figure will add up to 1080
