Answer:

The measure of the sum of interior angles of a 11-gon is
1620^(o).

Each interior angle is approximately
147.273^(o).

Explanation:

A convex polygon has the measure of each interior angles to be less than
180^(o).

But,

sum of interior angles of polygon = (n - 2) x
180^(o)

where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

For a convex 11-gon, we have;

sum of angles of a 11-gon = (11 - 2) x
180^(o)

= 9 x
180^(o)

=
1620^(o)

Sum of angles of a 11-gon =
1620^(o)

To check: convex polygons' interior angles are less than
180^(o).

so that,

each interior angle of 11-gon =
(1620)/(11)

=
147.273^(o)
