Polygon

The document discusses types of polygons, including convex, concave, and regular polygons, along with their angle properties. It states that the sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon is 360 degrees and provides formulas for calculating the sum of interior angles based on the number of sides. Additionally, it includes several examples for calculating angles in various polygons.

Types  of  Polygons  
 
Convex  Polygon:  All  interior  angles  measure  less  than  180  
degrees.  
 
-­‐  no  part  of  any  line  segment  joining  two  points  on  the  polygon  
goes  outside  the  polygon.  
 
 
 
 
 
Concave  Polygon:  Can  have  interior  angles  greater  than  180  degrees.    
 
-­‐  parts  of  some  line  segments  joining  two  points  on  the  polygon  go  
outside  the  polygon.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
Regular  Polygon:  All  sides  are  equal  and  all  interior  angles  are  equal.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Angle  Properties  in  Polygons  
 
The  sum  of  the  exterior  angles  of  a  convex  polygon  is  360  degrees.  
 
For  a  polygon  with  n  sides,  the  sum  of  the  interior  angles,  in  degrees,  is  180(𝑛   −  2)  
 
!"#(!!!)
For  a  regular  polygon  with  𝑛  sides,  the  measure  of  each  interior  angle  is  equal  to:   !  
 
!"#
For  a  regular  polygon  with  n  sides,  the  measure  of  each  exterior  angle  is  equal  to:   !  
 
 
 
 
 
Example  1:  Calculate  the  sum  of  the  interior  angles  of  an  octagon  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example  2:  Calculate  the  measure  of  each  of  the  interior  angles  of  a  regular  octagon.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example  3:  Calculate  the  measure  of  each  of  the  exterior  angles  of  a  regular  octagon.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example  4:  How  many  sides  does  a  polygon  have  if  each  of  its  interior  angles  measure  140  degrees?  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example  5:  The  measure  of  one  of  the  exterior  angles  of  a  regular  polygon  is  30  degrees.  How  many  sides  
does  it  have?  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Example  6:  Five  angles  of  a  hexagon  have  measures  100°,  110°,  120°,  130°,  and  140°.  What  is  the  
measure  of  the  sixth  angle?
