Find the value of n

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Use the interior angles rule to find what the sum of the interior angles has to be: \[Sum\ of\ interior\ angles\ within\ an\ n-gon=180°\times (n-2)\] All of the angles inside will add up to equal that.

confused..idont know how to use that formula

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Basically, you replace n with the number of sides in the shape. In a triangle, n=3, so we have: 180°×(3-2) → 180° If you add up all the angles inside a triangle, we know that they add up to 180°, so this makes sense.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large {\textit{sum of interior angles}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{llll} (&n-2)\cdot 180\\ &\uparrow\\ &\textit{number of sides in the polygon} \end{array}}\)

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Your shape has 6 sides, so we have: 180°×(6-2) = 180°×4 = 720° 135°+62°+151°+140°+n°+(n+6)° = 720°

|dw:1388881622144:dw| we know sum of external angles of a polygon=360 40+29+118+45+180-(n+6)+180-n=360 232=n+6+n 2n=226 n=113
