Question

pascal wants to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon that has \\(n\\) sides. how could he do this?

  • multiply \\(180^\circ\\) by \\(n\\)
  • multiply \\(180^\circ\\) by \\((n+2)\\)
  • multiply \\(180^\circ\\) by \\((n-2)\\)
  • multiply \\(180^\circ\\) by 2

Explanation:

Identify the formula for the sum of interior angles

$$ S = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ $$

Interpret the formula in words

$$ \text{Sum} = 180^\circ \times (n - 2) $$

Match with the given options

$$ \text{Multiply } 180^\circ \text{ by } (n - 2) $$

Answer:

  • Multiply \(180^\circ\) by \(n\)
  • Multiply \(180^\circ\) by \((n+2)\)
  • Multiply \(180^\circ\) by \((n-2)\) (Correct answer)
  • Multiply \(180^\circ\) by 2
