The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180° \]
where \( n \) is the number of sides in the polygon.
For a hendecagon, \( n = 11 \):
\[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (11 - 2) \times 180° = 9 \times 180° \]
Now, calculate \( 9 \times 180 \):
\[ 9 \times 180 = 1620° \]
Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a hendecagon is \( \boxed{1620} \) degrees.
