Question

The polygon angle sum theorem states that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon is

n-2/180

(n-1) 180

180/n-1

(n-2) 180

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is Sum(n) = (n -2) 180.

Answer 2

The polygon angle sum theorem states that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon is (n-2) 180

What is a polygon or an n-gon?

A polygon is a geometric figure with a finite number of sides in 2D. A polygon's sides are made up of straight-line segments. They are called as sides. The intersection of two line segments is known as the vertex and an angle is generated as result.

The term n-gon refers to polygon with n sides.

What are the interior angles of a Polygon or an n-gon?

A polygon's interior angle is the angle formed between two adjacent sides of the polygon.

How to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon?

We will take a pentagon(5 sides) and then we will try to generalize it to an n-gon(n sides) with the following steps:

1. In the figure let's take the vertex B and connect all the other vertices to it.
2. Now, look there are a total of 3 triangles formed inside the pentagon.
3. So, now we can say if we add connect all the vertices of an n-gon from a random vertex it will produce a total of (n-2) triangles in it.
   

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

Now, each triangle has the sum of interior angles of 180°,

so (n-2) triangles will have the sum of interior angles of (n-2)×180°.

Therefore, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon is (n-2)×180.
