anonymous · Answer

Use the formula, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:

180(n - 2)  where n + # of sides the polygon has

So just substitute to find n.

firejay5 · Answer

substitute 180 for n

anonymous · Answer

No, n represents the number of sides.

Look.......

Total number of degrees in the interior angles of a polygon = 180(n-2)

anonymous · Answer

So let's say...the total number of degrees is 2,880. 

So your equation is:

2,880 = 180(n - 2)

anonymous · Answer

Divide both sides by 180, you get 16 = n - 2

add 2 to both sides, you get n = 18.
