Polygon Interior Angle Sum

Question:
What is the sum of the measures of the interior angle of a convex n-gon?
Explore:
1. In each polygon, draw all the diagonals from one vertex. Notice that the diagonals divide the polygon into triangles.[br][br]2. By the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is [math]180^o[/math]. Use this theorem to complete the table.
