I'm not sure. I think it is either 180 or 360.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1080 degrees

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So the 8 angles are x, x+10, x+20, x+30, x+40, x+50, x+60, x+70

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When you add them all together, you get 1080. Write and solve that equation. After you find x, x+70 is the biggest angle and the answer to the question the problem asks.
