The number of diagonals in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides. What is the number of degrees in the sum of all the interior angles of the polygon?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

  540°

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of diagonals in a polygon with n sides is ...

  d = n(n -3)/2

If this value is equal to the number of sides, n, then we must have ...

  n = n(n -3)/2

Multiply by 2/n to get ...

  2 = n -3

  5 = n . . . . . add 3.

The polygon is a pentagon.

__

The sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon is ...

  (n -2)·180°

So, for n=5, the sum of interior angles is ...

  (5 -2)·180° = 540° . . . sum of interior angles
