Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of geometry, which of the following statements about polygons is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what a polygon is. A polygon is a shape with straight sides, like a triangle or a square.
  • Step 2: Identify the number of sides in the polygon. This is represented by 'n'. For example, a triangle has 3 sides, a square has 4 sides.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to find the sum of the interior angles of the polygon. The formula is (n-2) * 180 degrees.
  • Step 4: Calculate the sum of the interior angles for different values of n. For example, for a triangle (n=3), the sum is (3-2) * 180 = 180 degrees.
  • Step 5: Notice that as 'n' (the number of sides) increases, the sum of the interior angles also increases. For example, for a pentagon (n=5), the sum is (5-2) * 180 = 540 degrees.
