Answer:

[tex]540^{\circ},\ 1080^{\circ},\ 1800^{\circ},\ 6840^{\circ},\ 9000^{\circ},\ 17640^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of each convex n-sided polygon is always equal to

[tex](n-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}.[/tex]

1. A pentagon is 5-sided polygon, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles of pentagon is

[tex](5-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=540^{\circ}.[/tex]

2. An octagon is 8-sided polygon, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles of octagon is

[tex](8-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=1080^{\circ}.[/tex]

3. A dodecagon is 12-sided polygon, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles of dodecagon is

[tex](12-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=1800^{\circ}.[/tex]

4. For 40-sided polygon the sum of the measures of the interior angles is

[tex](40-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=6840^{\circ}.[/tex]

5. For 52-sided polygon the sum of the measures of the interior angles is

[tex](52-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=9000^{\circ}.[/tex]

6. For 100-sided polygon the sum of the measures of the interior angles is

[tex](100-2)\cdot 180^{\circ}=17640^{\circ}.[/tex]
