\[180(n-2)=720\]

She expects answer lol...

Well, the easy way to solve this problem would be to google it, but let's see if we can think of an answer together, since you won't have google on a test.

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

umm. its B!

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

So, note that every triangle is 180 degrees. That's no issue right?

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Triangles are pretty easy to work with. So let's see if we can break down those shapes in to triangles.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

So those terrible pictures are examples of how you can break down simple polygons in to triangles.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

You can add up the triangles's interior angle measures this way. Do you see what I'm trying to do here? Think you can get the solution from that?

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

So, yes, you're right it's B. But do you get how you would get to that during a test?
