OpenStudy (anonymous):

total sum of interior angles=(x-2)*180 where x is the no.of sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so here sum =(6-2)180=4*180=720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so 6 sides, so 6-2=4 4 x 180=720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya so 488+n+(n+6)=720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, i wasn't exactly sure about the formula for interior angles before but i get it, thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2n+6=720-488=232 --->2n=226,n=113

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are welcome @SunshineGirl :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, Im sorry but im a little bit confused about the last part. after you do (x-2) 180, how do you get to the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SunshineGirl i will tell u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum of all angles =720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

140+151+62+135+(n+6)+n=720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 488+(n+6)+n=720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2n+6=720-488

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2n=720-488-6=226 ---->n=226/2=113

hope its clear now
