In the video, I didn't understand (n-2)180 part @5:33. Please explain.
The discussion revolves around understanding the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, specifically the expression (n-2)180, as referenced in a video. Participants are seeking clarification on this concept within the context of polygon geometry.
There is an active exploration of the formula's meaning and its application to different types of polygons. Participants are sharing insights and clarifications, but no consensus has been reached regarding the interpretation of the video content.
Some participants have not viewed the video, which may affect their understanding of the context in which the formula is presented. There is also a reference to an external resource for further detail on the topic.
Doesn't have to be regular. The sum of the angles (in degrees) of any n-sided polygon is (n-2) 180.neilparker62 said:Didn't check the video but it sounds like sum of the interior angles of a regular n-gon.
True - thanks for pointing that out. More detail on (n-2)180 here:DrClaude said:Doesn't have to be regular. The sum of the angles (in degrees) of any n-sided polygon is (n-2) 180.
