Sameer has some geometry homework and is stuck with a question. The question says that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon doesn't exceed 2014 degrees.

What is the maximum possible number of sides of the polygon?

13 sides.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula:

sum = 180(n-2) degrees

2014 >= 180(n-2)

11.18 >= n-2

13.18 >= n    

n <= 13.18       So 13 sides is correct !
