Given in the question:

a.) The sum of all angles of a polygon is 1,440 degrees.

To be able to determine what polygon has a total sum of angles of 1,440 degrees, we will be using the following formula:


\text{ }\Theta=(n-2)x180^(\circ)

We get,


\text{ 1},440^(\circ)=(n-2)x180^(\circ)
\text{ 1},440^(\circ)=180n-360^(\circ)
180n=1,440^(\circ)\text{ + 360}^(\circ)
180n=1,800^(\circ)
(180n)/(180)=(1,800^(\circ))/(180)
n\text{ = 10}

Therefore, that polygon is a decagon or a polygon with 10 sides.
