Can someone explain to me how to solve this?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are dealing with a 4-sided polygon, a quadrilateral. Do you know the formula for the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's a formula for it? o: Shoulda figured. What's the formula?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The formula is: S = 180(n - 2) where S = sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon n = number of sides.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since you have a quadrilateral, the number of sides is 4, so use n = 4 in the formula. What do you get for the sum of the measures of the angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S = 360?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Now, before we use this info, let's look at something else. Do you notice the red arrowheads on the top and bottom sides? Do you know what they mean?
