The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular convex polygon given that the sum of all interior angles is \(1440^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the formula for the sum of interior angles The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with \(n\) sides is given by: \[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \] Given that the sum of the interior angles is \(1440^\circ\), we can set up the equation: \[ (n - 2) \times 180 = 1440 \] ### Step 2: Solve for \(n\) To find \(n\), we first divide both sides of the equation by \(180\): \[ n - 2 = \frac{1440}{180} \] Calculating the right side: \[ n - 2 = 8 \] Now, add \(2\) to both sides: \[ n = 8 + 2 = 10 \] ### Step 3: Find the measure of each interior angle Now that we know the polygon has \(10\) sides, we can find the measure of each interior angle using the formula: \[ \text{Each interior angle} = \frac{\text{Sum of interior angles}}{n} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \text{Each interior angle} = \frac{1440}{10} = 144^\circ \] ### Final Answer The measure of each interior angle of the polygon is \(144^\circ\). ---
