    This document discusses angle sum theorems for polygons. It defines the angle sum theorem for triangles as the sum of the three interior angles being 180 degrees. For quadrilaterals, the sum is 360 degrees. For polygons with n sides, the sum of the interior angles is (n - 2) x 180 degrees. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the sum of interior angles and determining the type of polygon based on interior or exterior angle measures. Drill problems are included at the end to practice applying the angle sum theorems.

    Angles of a Polygon

    Angle Sum Theorem for Triangles


    The sum of the measures of the three angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.
    Angle Sum Theorem for Quadrilaterals
    The sum of the measures of the four angles of any triangle is 360 degrees.
    Angle Sum Theorem for Polygons
    The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n
    sides is,
    s = (n 2) 180

    Examples:
    1. Solve for the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon. What is the
    measure of each?
    s = (n 2) 180
    = (5 2) 180

    Therefore, 540 /5 = 108

    = 3 (180 )
    o

    s = 540
    2. The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 120 degrees. What is
    the polygon?
    Solution:
    s ( n2 ) 180
    I= =

    Additional Examples:
    Calculate the measure of the lettered angle
    1.
    x
    b.
    z
    112

    Solutions:
    a. Since the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 then
    o

    112 + 2(90 ) + x = 360


    o

    292 + x = 360
    o

    o
    o

    x = 360 292
    b. Since the polygon has 6 sides then n=6,then
    o

    s = (n 2)(180 )
    o

    = (6 2) 180
    s 720
    y= =

    Therefore

    = 4 (180 )
    s = 720
