    Geometry - polygons
    5. If the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 3240 degrees, what type of polygon is it?

    assuming it's a convex polygon the equation for the sum of the interior angles in degrees is (n-2)*180 where n is the number of sides.

    Well, a line has 0 degrees of interior angle, a triangle has 180 degrees of interior angle, a square has 360 degrees of interior angle, a pentagon has 540 degrees of interior angle.

    See a pattern? How can you use this to solve your question?
