(ii)
A convex polygon is said to be regular if all of its sides have the same length and
all angles between sides are the same. Let Pr denote the regular convex n-sided
polygon. Thus, P3 is the equilateral triangle, P₁ is the square, P is the pentagon
etc. Compute a formula for the size of any internal angle of Pn.

- + Recall that a map, f: R2 R², is an isometry if |P-Q| = |ƒ(P) — ƒ (Q) for all pairs of points P and Q in R². Thus, f is a distance preserving map.
