The measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is degrees. What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles, in degrees?
Solution
Taking one exterior angle per vertex, the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is . If each exterior angle is , then the polygon has sides. The sum of the interior angles of an -sided polygon is , so for a polygon with 12 sides, the sum of the interior angles is degrees.
Final answer
