Q:
The sum of the measures of seven angles of an octagon is 1000 degrees fine the measure of the eighth angle
Accepted Solution
A:
now, we're assuming this is for interior angles.
the sum of all the interior angles in a polygon is
180(n - 2) n = number of sides in a polygon.
now, this is an OCTAgon, it has OCTA=8 sides, so it has a sum of its interior angles at 180( 8 - 2) --> 180(6) ---> 1080°.
now, we already know seven of those eight angles add up to 1000, so... surely you'd know what the last one is.
