Have a look back at the answers you have picked. Can you recognize a pattern when adding an extra side?
What do you think the pattern is?
Now have a ago at using this formula:
Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180
See if you get the same answers.
Does the formula work only for regular polygons?
What kind of polygon is this?
Add up all the angles and also use the formula. Do you get the same answers?
