A
360 over n (n being number of sides)
2
Q
How do you calculate the interior angle of a shape?
A
180x(n-2) over n (n being number of sides)
3
Q
Interior angle + exterior angle always = to _______ fill in the blank
A
180
4
Q
How do you find out the number of sides in a polygon?
A
360 over exterior angle
5
Q
If the sum of interior angles in a polygon add up to 3060. How many sides are there?
A
If 180x(n-2) = to 3060
Then = 3060 over 180 which equals to 17
Therefore 17+2 = number of sides
Because of the extra (n-2) which has been turned around into (n+2)
