Number of angles – 2 times 180 = sum of degrees
(n-2)180 = Sum of degrees
What is the sum of all the angles of an octagon?
(n-2)180 = Sum of degrees
(8-2)180 = Sum of degrees
6 x 180 = 1080
What is the sum of all the angles of an nonagon?
(n-2)180 = Sum of degrees
(9-2)180 = Sum of degrees
7 x 180 = 1260
