If the sum of the measures of all the interior angles of a polygon is 1800
∘
, find the number of sides of the polygon.
- A12
- B14
- C16
- D8
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The formula for the sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is:
Sum=(n−2)×180
∘
Given that the sum is 1800
∘
:
(n−2)×180
∘
=1800
∘
Divide both sides by 180
∘
:
n−2=
180
1800
n−2=10
n=12
Therefore, the polygon has 12 sides.
Sum=(n−2)×180
