    What is the sum of the angles of an octogon (8 sided polygon)?

    • 900

    • 1080

    • 1260

    • 1440

    Correct Answer
    A. 1080
    Explanation
    An octagon is a polygon with 8 sides. To find the sum of the angles of any polygon, we use the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In this case, the sum of the angles of an octagon would be (8-2) * 180 = 6 * 180 = 1080.

    What is the sum of the angles of an 11 sided polygon?

    • 1980

    • 1800

    • 1620

    • 1440

    Correct Answer
    A. 1620
    Explanation
    The sum of the angles in any polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In this case, the polygon has 11 sides, so the sum of the angles would be (11-2) * 180 = 9 * 180 = 1620.

    Rate this question:

    How many sides does a polygon have if the sum of its angles is 1440?

    • 8

    • 9

    • 10

    • 11

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    A polygon with 10 sides is called a decagon. The sum of the interior angles of a decagon is given by the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. Plugging in n=10, we get (10-2) * 180 = 8 * 180 = 1440. Therefore, a polygon with 10 sides would have an angle sum of 1440 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How many sides does a polygon have if the sum of its angles is 540?

    • 6

    • 5

    • 4

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    A polygon with 5 sides is called a pentagon. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n represents the number of sides. In this case, we have (5-2) * 180 = 540, which means that the sum of the angles in a pentagon is indeed 540. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.
