Solution

Dear student
Let n=number of sides in the polygonThe sum of the measures if all interior angles is (n-2)180°So, if three interior angle measures 80° eachand the (n-2)+3=n+1 remaining interior angles measure 160 eachFor the sum of all measures in degrees we can write the equation380°+(n+1)160°=n-2180°240°+160n+160°=180n-360°760°=20nn=38
