2.4 angle properties in polygons

key idea....


  • you can prove properties of angles in polgons using other angle properties that have already been proved


need to know



  • the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon with N sides can be expressed as 180 degrees(n-2)

  • the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 180 (n-2)

_____


n



  • the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360 degrees

ex: if a polygon has 15 sides what is the sum of the interior angles


answer: 15-2=13


13x180=2340


2340/15=156


answer is 156
