Heres a good trick to figuring out the sum of the angles of an "n" sided polygon.

It's common knowledge that a triangle (3 sides) has a sum of 180 degrees and a square (4 sides) is 360 degrees. You can infer that a pentagon (5 sides) has a sum of 540 degrees. So the equation to figure out the sum of all the angles of an "n" sided polygon is 180*(n-2). So in your case n = 17 so the equation becomes 180(17-2) = 2700 degrees
