Let

S------> The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon

n-------> number of sides of a polygon

we know that

The formula to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to

[tex] S=(n-2)*180 [/tex]°

in this problem

[tex] S=2880 [/tex]°

Solve for n

[tex] S=(n-2)*180\\ \\ n=\frac{S}{180}+2\\ \\ n=\frac{2880}{180}+2\\ \\ n=16+2\\ \\ n=18\ sides [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 18\ sides [/tex]
