Answer:

B) (n-2)180°

Explanation:

For any polygon, we can draw 2 fewer triangles than the given number of sides.

The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180°. Since there are (n-2) triangles in every polygon, this means the sum of the measures of the angles of any polygon with n sides is

(n-2)180.
