medals rewarded! Find the number of sides in the polygon with whose angles measures have the given sum. 18,000° a.102 b.98 c.200 d.120

Hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this have a picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it doesn't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I recall correctly, the formula for the sum of the angles in a polygon with n sides is: \[180(n-2)\]So, set this equal to 18000: \[18000=180(n-2)\]Divide both sides by 180: \[100=n-2\]I think you know what to do from here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be 98?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After you add 2 to both sides you'll get n=102 sides.
