Math Problem Statement

What is the interior angle sum that have a 14, 24, 17, and 8 sides

Solution

The interior angle sum of a polygon can be calculated using the formula:

Interior Angle Sum=180×(n2)\text{Interior Angle Sum} = 180^\circ \times (n - 2)

where nn is the number of sides of the polygon. Let's calculate the interior angle sum for polygons with 14, 24, 17, and 8 sides.

  1. 14-sided polygon (n = 14):

Interior Angle Sum=180×(142)=180×12=2160\text{Interior Angle Sum} = 180^\circ \times (14 - 2) = 180^\circ \times 12 = 2160^\circ

  1. 24-sided polygon (n = 24):

Interior Angle Sum=180×(242)=180×22=3960\text{Interior Angle Sum} = 180^\circ \times (24 - 2) = 180^\circ \times 22 = 3960^\circ

  1. 17-sided polygon (n = 17):

Interior Angle Sum=180×(172)=180×15=2700\text{Interior Angle Sum} = 180^\circ \times (17 - 2) = 180^\circ \times 15 = 2700^\circ

  1. 8-sided polygon (n = 8):

Interior Angle Sum=180×(82)=180×6=1080\text{Interior Angle Sum} = 180^\circ \times (8 - 2) = 180^\circ \times 6 = 1080^\circ

So, the interior angle sums are:

  • 14-sided polygon: 21602160^\circ
  • 24-sided polygon: 39603960^\circ
  • 17-sided polygon: 27002700^\circ
  • 8-sided polygon: 10801080^\circ

  4. Can a polygon have an interior angle sum of 720°? If so, how many sides does it have?
  5. What is the interior angle of a regular polygon with 12 sides?

Tip: Remember, as the number of sides of a polygon increases, the sum of the interior angles also increases, while the sum of the exterior angles remains constant at 360360^\circ.
