1. The problem is to find the formula for the number of interior angles of a polygon.
2. A polygon with $n$ sides has $n$ interior angles.
3. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with $n$ sides is given by the formula:
$$\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n-2) \times 180$$
4. Each interior angle (if the polygon is regular) can be found by dividing the sum by $n$:
$$\text{Each interior angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$$
5. Important rules:
- The polygon must have at least 3 sides ($n \geq 3$).
- The formula calculates the sum of all interior angles.
- For regular polygons, all interior angles are equal.
6. To summarize:
- Number of interior angles = $n$
- Sum of interior angles = $(n-2) \times 180$
- Each interior angle (regular polygon) = $\frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$
This completes the explanation of the formula for the number of interior angles and their measures.
