(n - 2)180

Corollary to Theorem 8.1 - Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a convex
o
quadrilateral is 360.

180 + 180

= 360

Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex octagon.

(n - 2)180
Count the sides - 8

(8 - 2)180

Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex decagon.

(n - 2)180
Count the sides - 10

(10 - 2)180
(8)180 = 1440

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 900.
Classify the polygon by the number of sides.

(n - 2)180
(n - 2)180 = 900
n-2=5
n=7
The polygon has 7 sides. It is a heptagon.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 2340.
Classify the polygon by the number of sides.

(n - 2)180
(n - 2)180 = 2340
n - 2 = 13
n = 15
The polygon has 15 sides. It is a 15-gon.
