How many degrees in a polygon?

Answer 1

In a polygon that does not include Quadrilaterals (Squares and Rectangles) I think there are 180 degrees in a Polygon. Although squares and rectangles are polygons, so I do not know why they have 360 degrees. ???

Polygons have different numbers of sides. To find out how many degrees are in the polygon, use the formula 180(n-2) n=the number of sides in that polygon. So a square has 4 sides. 180(4-2), or 180 x 2=360 degrees in a square. A triangle has 3 sides, 180 (3-2) or 180 x 1=180 degrees in a triangle.
