last question
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so 3060/180?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(n-2)180=3060
n is the number of sides
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
that gives u (n-2)
OpenStudy (colcaps):
but the sides arent given yet

u familiar wid formula given by @AbhimanyuPudi right
OpenStudy (colcaps):
yeah thats the formula i used earlier
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yeah,
in the formula,
(n-2)*180 = sum of interior angles
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
n is the # of sides
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
which we need to find out

so ill divide 3060/180?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats right !
(n-2)*180 = 3060
n-2 = 3060/180
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so (17-2)*180=2700
OpenStudy (colcaps):
oh wait
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
NO

When I last logged in at 2.50 pm , you were at 92 and now 93..
So quick..
Anyways, congratulations for Green..
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
ohh i was about to greet u, then u logged out, looks u too busy wid college :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Colcaps you will get
n-2 = 3060/180 = 17
So, n-2=17
then n=?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
15

19?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
wait did the sign transpose?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, n-2=17
Add 2 on both sides
n=17+2=19
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yeah il msg u i guess :)
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so the polygon is called enneadecagon?
