Exercise 1: Nonagon
Step 1: Recall the formula for the sum of interior angles of a convex polygon.
The formula is \( S = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \), where \( n \) is the number of sides. A nonagon has \( n = 9 \) sides.
Step 2: Substitute \( n = 9 \) into the formula.
\( S = (9 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 7 \times 180^\circ \)
Step 3: Calculate the result.
\( 7 \times 180^\circ = 1260^\circ \)
Step 1: Use the formula \( S = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \) with \( n = 14 \).
Step 2: Substitute \( n = 14 \).
\( S = (14 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 12 \times 180^\circ \)
Step 3: Compute the product.
\( 12 \times 180^\circ = 2160^\circ \)
Step 1: Apply the formula \( S = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \) with \( n = 16 \).
Step 2: Substitute \( n = 16 \).
\( S = (16 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 14 \times 180^\circ \)
Step 3: Calculate.
\( 14 \times 180^\circ = 2520^\circ \)
