a 60 sided polygon would have interior angles 174 degrees so perhaps there is a typographical error. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)(180) so for a polygon with 60 sides this would be (60-2)180=10440 There are 60 angles so each angle is 10440/60= 174 If you are given the value for the angle and need to solve for n the number of sides go in reverse angle = (n-2)(180)/n and solve for n
