Answer:

c. 180(n - 2)

Explanation:

Note that the variable (n) equals to the amount of sides there are. You can use it to find the total amount of degrees the shape has.

for example, a triangle has 3 sides:

180(n - 2)

180(3 - 2)

180(1) = 180

This means that the sum of the triangle's interior angles is = 180°

Another example can be an pentagon, which has 5 sides:

180(n - 2)

180(5 - 2)

180(3) = 540

This means that the sum of the pentagon's interior angles is = 540°
