A polygon has two interior angles of 120° each  and the others are each 150°. calculate  (a) The number of sides of the polygon .  (b) The sum of the interior angles.

The sum of the interior angles of   a polygon with n sides is (n−2)×180 degrees.  2×120+(n−2)×150=(n−2)×180  240+150n−300=180n−360  30n=300  n=10  It′s a polygon with 10 sides.  The sum of its interior angles:  (10−2)×180=1440 degrees
