Write a proof of the Polygon Interior​ Angle-Sum Theorem.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex​ n-gon is 180 times ​(n-2).
By drawing every diagonal from one vertex in a​ convex, n-sided​ polygon, the polygon can be decomposed into how many triangles?

Respuesta :

You can always decompose a polygon into n-2 triangles, of which each is a triangle. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180, so you get the formula 180(n-2).


The n-sided polygon can always be decomposed into n-2 triangles.
