Question

The sum of the interior angles, s, in an n-sided polygon can be determined using the formula s = 180(n – 2), where n is the number of sides. Benita solves this equation for n and writes the equivalent equation n = s/180 + 2.

Using this formula, how many sides does a polygon have if the sum of the interior angles is 1,260°?

_______ sides

Answer 1

the answer is 9 hope it helps

Answer 2

s = 180° ( n - 2 )
The equation for n is:
n = s / 180° + 2
s = 1,260°
n = ( 1,260° : 180° ) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Answer:
A polygon has 9 sides.
