The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is 1620°. How many sides does the polygon have? ____

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the formula: 180 * (n - 2) 1620 = 180 * (n - 2) Distribute 180 into the parenthesis: 1620 = 180n - 360 Add 360 to both sides: 1980 = 180n Divide 180 to both sides.

1980 / 180 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1980 / 180 = 11

Yes, that's our answer. @Master_Chief_117 To check we can plug it back in: 180 * (n - 2) 180 * (11 - 2) 180 * 9 1620
