Answer:

9. 1620°

10. 360°

11. 180°

Explanation:

The answers of problems 10 and 11 give you the way to find the answer to problem 9.

__

10. The sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360°.

__

11. An internal angle and an external angle are a linear pair, so always sum to 180°.

__

9. At every vertex, the sum of interior and exterior angles is 180°, so the total of those angles at all vertices is n·180°. Of that total, 360° is the sum of exterior angles, so the total of interior angles of an n-gon is ...

n·180° -360° = (n -2)·180°

For an 11-gon, the sum of interior angles is ...

(11 -2)·180° = 1620°
