Question

Which statement about the picture below is true

For a polygon with 10 sides, which equation below represents the sum of the interior angles in the polygon?

sum = (360)(8) = 2880°
sum = (360)(10) = 3600°
sum = (180)(8) = 1440°
sum = (180)(10) = 1800°

Answer 1

Correct answer is:

1800°

Answer 2

the correct answer is 1440.

The equation to find the sum of interior angles in a polygon is s = 180(n-2), n being the amount of sides and s being the sum. To solve you would do s = 180(10-2), s = 180(8), and s = 1440. hopefully that makes sense haha. use the equation s=180(n-2) :))
