Sum of Angles in a Regular Polygon on the Casio ClassPad

Use the ClassPad regular n-gon feature to create a sequence of regular polygons, starting with an equilateral triangle.

  

Create a sequence() call with the number of sides in the first list and the total sum of the angles in the second:

      

Use the resulting linear equation to predict the size of the angles of a regular heptagon.  Confirm by creating one in geometry.

Interpret the slope and intercept of the equation in terms of the drawing below:
