will give a medal!!!! I only need step "E" For a regular n-gon: a. What is the sum of the measures of its angles? b. What is the measure of each angle? c. What is the sum of the measures of its exterior angles, one at each vertex? d. What is the measure of each exterior angle? e. Find the sum of your answers to parts b and d. Explain why this sum makes sense.

im sorry but i suck at math. otherwise i would definatly help you out.

OpenStudy (arabpride):

I have no idea what this is. >.< Sorry ~ wish i cud help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What were the answer for b and d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a.(n-2)180 b.(n-2)180/n c.360 d.360/n e.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, let's just use a triangle to make this easier. B: (3-2)*180/3=60 D: 360/3=120 So, from the two other answer we get 180 as the sum. The reason this answer makes sense is because the interior angle, and the exterior angle should form a 180 degree line. I'll draw a picture to prove my point in a sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IS that all that you needed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What part are you not understanding? I'll try to help you more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i get it but idont know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, here is the answer in simple writing terms: 180, this is because when one interior angle is right beside it's exterior angle, it forms a 180 degree line.

Sorry that it took so long, but OS was really slow on my end.
