Answer:

Heather's polygon has 3 sides.

Explanation:

S = 60x Try plugging in number for x that will work

I found that when x = 3, the equation was true

S = 60x Substitute

S = 60(3) Multiply

S = 180 If the sum of the interior angles is 180, the only shape that can be made is a triangle, which has 3 sides.
