Marco says that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°. he claims that the interior angles of a hexagon must add up to 360° because a hexagon has twice as many vertices as a triangle and can be divided into two triangles, therefore, its interior angles must sum to twice the value of those of a triangle

which statement, if any, explains Marco's E R R O R?

a. a hexagon does not have 6 vertices.

b. a hexagon can be divided into 4 triangles, not 2.

c. the interior angles of a triangle do not add up to 180°.

d. Marco's statement is correct and contains no E R R O R.

I do not believe any of these answers are correct. There is a formula to follow in order to know the sum of the interior angles of a polygon. Unless, you use the formula, and the interior angles are 360 degrees, than D would be the right answer.

The only statement that explains Marco's error about triangles from a hexagon is;

Option B; a hexagon can be divided into 4 triangles, not 2.

  • We are told that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.

  • Now, he is making a claim that the interior angles of a hexagon must add up to 360° because a hexagon has twice as many vertices as a triangle and can be divided into two triangles.

Let us look at the options;

  • Option A; This statement does not explain his error because a hexagon has six vertices.

  • Option B; This statement explains his error because a hexagon can be divided into four triangles by making use of the diagonals of the hexagon from a common vertex.

  • Option C; This statement does not explain his error because the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.

  • Option D; This statement does not explain his error because his statement is not correct.
