umm do you have an idea what you're supposed to do?

anonymous · Answer

no I don't could u show me an example. I have two more of these two do

sasogeek · Answer

ok so let's see if you get this. if you can find the total sum of all the angles and divide it by the number of angles, you can get the value of one of the angles... makes sense?

anonymous · Answer

yes it makes sense

sasogeek · Answer

do you know how to find the sum of all the angles of a polygon though?

anonymous · Answer

no

sasogeek · Answer

there's a formula for it.
Sum = (n-2)*180
where n is the number of sides of the polygon, in this case 8.. so let's do the first part. find the sum of the angles and tell me what you got :)
