...you could be a bit more descriptive !

if the measure of an interior angle of a regular convex polygon is 120º, how many sides does the polygon have ?

Σ (interior angles) = (n - 2) * 180

# of sides = Σ/n

so...[n - 2) * 180]/n = 120

solve for n: 120n = 180n - 360

n = 6

the polygon is a HEXAGON !

ask better questions...



Additional Details
I can NOT be more descriptive because I don't even know what it means, I was never taught this and they just expect me to know it.

...of course, the concept of "reading your textbook" is alien to you !

1) I go to an online advanced school.
"advanced" implies self-reliance

2) I am in a math class two grades above me.
try two grades below for success.

3) My teachers don't like to be bothered.
get some new teachers...that is the most absurd statement in this post !

4) I don't have textbooks.
get some...

Students who have excuses for every situtation that challenges them are rarely successful !
