The Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem says that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n -sided convex polygon is (n-2)180.

We are given that the measure of an interior angle of a regular n -gon is 135 and we want to find n. The Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem tells us that the sum of the interior angle measures of an n-gon is (n-2)180.
Since all angles in a regular polygon are congruent, our regular n-gon has n angles that each have a measure 135. Therefore, the sum of the angle measures equals n times 135.
Distribute 180
LHS+360=RHS+360
LHS-135n=RHS-135n
.LHS /45.=.RHS /45.
We found that n=8. This means that the polygon with the given measure of an interior angle has 8 sides.
