    Polygon Interior Angles Sum


    ANGLES OF POLYGONS

    The segments that connect the nonconsecutive vertices of a


    polygon are called diagonals. Drawing all of the diagonals
    from one vertex of an n-gon separates the polygon into n - 2
    triangles. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of
    the polygon can be found by adding the measures of the
    interior angles of those n - 2 triangles.

    Polygon
    The sum of the interior angle measures of an
    Interior Angle
    n-sided convex polygon is (n - 2) ․ 180.
    Sum Theorem

    EXAMPLE Measures of Interior Angles


    a. A convex polygon has 13 sides. Find the sum of
    the measures of the interior angles.
    (n - 2) ․ 180 = (13 - 2) ․ 180
    = 11 ․ 180
    = 1980
    b. Find the value of x. (x - 2)°
    3x°

    (2x + 12)°

    x°

    (n - 2) ․ 180 = (4 - 2) ․ 180 Find the sum of the interior angles.


    = 2 ․ 180
    = 360
    = 360 The sum of the angle
    x + 3x + x - 2 + 2x + 12C005_L006_020A_136014-A
    measures is 360°.
    7x + 10 = 360
    7x = 350
    x = 50°

    Geo-SG08-01-02-860185-B
    6n = 360
    n = 60
    The measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon
    is 60.
    b. a regular octagon
    An octagon has 8 angles. Suppose n is the measure of
    each exterior angle.
    8n = 360
    n = 45
    The measure of each exterior angle on a regular octagon
    is 45.
    c. a regular pentagon
    A pentagon has 5 angles. Suppose n is the measure of
    each exterior angle.
    5n = 360
     n = 72
    The measure of each exterior angle on a regular pentagon
    is 72.
