The sum of the internal angles of a triangle = 180°
NOTE : This can also be solved from the formula for the sum of the external angles of a polygon = 2n - 4 right angles where n is the number of sides. 180° = 2 right angles.
Then, 2n - 4 = 2 : 2n = 2 + 4 : 2n = 6 : n = 3.

180
In a polygon with n sides, the sum of the interior angles is given by (n-2) * 180 degrees. Each triangle has interior angle sum of 180 degrees. Therefore, the number of triangles that can be formed in a polygon is equal to (n-2) * 180 / 180, which simplifies to (n-2). In other words, the number of triangles is two less than the number of sides in the polygon.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is 180*(n-2) degrees.
No, a convex polygon cannot have an interior angle sum of 400 degrees. The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is always equal to (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Since the sum of the interior angles must be greater than 180 degrees for each interior angle, a convex polygon with an interior angle sum of 400 degrees would require at least 9 sides, which would make it a nonagon, not a polygon.
