To find the measure of each interior angle for an n-sided polygon we use the formula
\(\frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}\)
for n = 8, p = \(\frac{6 \times 180}{ 8}\)
for n = 6, p = \(\frac{4 \times 180}{ 6}\)
We need to take the difference between the two to get our answer.
\(\frac{6 \times 180}{ 8} - \frac{4 \times 180}{ 6}\)
\(= 135 - 120 = 15\)

A regular polygon with n sides has interior angles that measure p degrees each. The value of p when n = 8 is how much greater than the value of p when n = 6 ?
Kudos for the right answer and explanation
