Objective: • Find the sum of interior angles of a

polygon

• Find the number of sides and value


of interior angles given exterior
angles of a polygon

• solve problems related to angles of


a polygon
What is a polygon?
A polygon is a 2D shape that is
made up of straight lines

They are flat and closed


What do the angles inside a
triangle always add up to?

These are interior


angles – they are on the
inside

180o
What do the interior angles of a
quadrilateral always add up to?

180o

180o

180o + 180o = 360o


Activity
 Make a pair

 Find the sum of interior angles inside each


polygon by dividing them into triangles.

 Then, find the formula to find the sum of


interior angles related to the number of sides
a polygon has.

IMPORTANT – Find the Formula
Polygon Sum of Interior Angles
Quadrilateral (4 – 2) x 1800 = 3600
Pentagon (5 – 2) x 1800 = 5400
Hexagon (6 – 2) x 1800 = 7200
Heptagon (7 – 2) x 1800 = 9000
N-gon (……. – 2) x 1800 = ….. 0

If a polygon has n sides, we can split it up into n –


2 triangles. Hence,

The sum of interior angles =


(n – 2) x 180o
a) This has 5 sides, so the sum of the angles is
180(5 – 2) = 540o
So we know that
a + 160 + 50 + 140 + 90 = 540o
a + 420 = 540o
a = 100o – 420
b) This has 6 sides, so the sum of the angles is
180(6 – 2) = 720o
So we know that
b + 130 + 140 + 110 + 110 + 80 = 720o
b + 570 = 720o
b = 150o – 570
c) This has 5 sides, so the sum of the angles is
180(5 – 2) = 540o
So we know that
c + 30 + 90 + 90 + 45 = 285o
c + 255 = 540o

c = 285o – 255
Exterior Angles
These are exterior angles –
they are on the outside

EXTERIOR ANGLES ALWAYS ADD TO 360o


a) Exterior angles always add to 360o, so
a + 100 + 90 + 90 = 360o
a + 280 = 360o

– 280
a = 80o
b) Exterior angles always add to 360o, so
b + 135 + 55 + 60 = 360o
b + 250 = 360o

– 250
b = 110o
c) Exterior angles always add to 360o, so
c + 58 + 83 + 72 + 95 = 360o
c + 308 = 360o

– 308
c = 52o
Example
 By finding the sizes of each of the exterior
angle of a regular polygon with 12 sides,
calculate the size of each interior angle.
This has 5 sides, so the sum of the angles is
180(5 – 2) = 540o
So to find angle x, we work out
x + x + x + 90 + 90 = 540o
3x + 180 = 540o

– 180
x = 120o ÷3
Finding Number of Sides Given

 Each exterior angle of a polygon is 240.
Find the number of sides of the polygon.
Finding Number of Sides Given
Interior angles
 Each interior angle of a polygon is 1500. Find
the number of sides of the polygon.
Summary
 A polygon is a flat shape made from straight
lines

 The external angles of a polygon always add


to 360o

 The internal angles of an n-sided polygon


add to 180(n – 2)o
