1What is the sum of the interior angles
of a quadrilateral?
   °
Solution
To find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, use the formula
  180 (n - 2) where n is the number of sides.

Sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral = 180 (4 - 2) = 360 degrees

2What is the sum of the exterior angles
of an octagon?
   °
Solution
The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°.

1How many sides does a polygon have if
the sum of its interior angles is
1260°?
   
Solution
To find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, use the formula
  180 (n - 2) where n is the number of sides.

Apply the formula to solve for n.
180 (n - 2) = 1260
n - 2 = 7
n = 9

2How many sides does a polygon have if
the sum of its interior angles is
180°?
   
Solution
To find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, use the formula
  180 (n - 2) where n is the number of sides.

Apply the formula to solve for n.
180 (n - 2) = 180
n - 2 = 1
n = 3

1What is the measurement of an interior
angle of a regular nonagon?
   °
Solution
To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula
180 (n - 2)   where n is the number of sides.
n

180 (9 - 2)   = 140
9

2What is the measurement of an exterior
angle of a regular triangle?
   °
Solution
To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula
360   where n is the number of sides.
n

360   = 120

1An exterior angle of a regular polygon
measures 36°. How many sides does
the polygon have?
   
Solution
To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula
360   where n is the number of sides.
n

Apply the formula to solve for n.
360   =  36
n
360  =  36n
360   =  n
36
n  =  10

2An interior angle of a regular polygon
measures 60°. How many sides does
the polygon have?
   
Solution
To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula
180 (n - 2)   where n is the number of sides.
n

Apply the formula to solve for n.
180 (n - 2)   =  60
n
180n - 360  =  60n
120n  =  360
n  =  3
