True or False The larger the number of sides of a polygon, the greater the sum of the measures of its interior angles?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know what is the difference from larger and greater ?

OpenStudy (colcaps):

what do you mean?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how ie the larger number and how is the greater sum ?

OpenStudy (colcaps):

nope well what i understand is the larger the number the greater the sum but im not sure thats why im asking because it might be reverted

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok so the sum of interior angles of indifferent polygon is 360 degree ,hope do you know this sure ,yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey can you guys please just take a look at my question and tell me what you think

OpenStudy (colcaps):

so its true

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so for indifferent case on a perimeter of a cyrcle do you can draw more sides than 360 for being the number of sides greater than the sum of interior angles ?

OpenStudy (colcaps):

you mean like 360 540 and etc? i havent encountered indifferent case

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so first of all what is a polygon ?

OpenStudy (colcaps):

many sides

OpenStudy (colcaps):

sorry im not good in math

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@hartnn please help understanding the difference

OpenStudy (colcaps):

oh so polygons are lines that are connected to form a chain or something(read from book)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@hartnn opinion ?

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes, its (n-2) * 180 so its 180n-360 so, larger the number , greater is the sum

OpenStudy (colcaps):

so 180=interior then 360 will be the exterior sides??

hartnn (hartnn):

huh?

OpenStudy (colcaps):

im really confused but i remembered the formula 180(n-2)/2 thanks anyways

OpenStudy (colcaps):

what if the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is always a multiple of 180 is it true?

hartnn (hartnn):

As the sum formula is 180 (n-2) , it will always be the multiple of 180, for any integer value of n
