Angles in polygons

What is a polygon?

  • A polygon is a 2D shape with n straight sides

    • A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides

    • A quadrilateral polygon with 4 sides

    • A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides

  • In a regular polygon all the sides are the same length and all the angles are the same size

    • A regular polygon with 3 sides is an equilateral triangle

    • A regular polygon with 4 sides is a square

What are the interior angles and the exterior angles of a polygon?

  • Interior angles are the angles inside a polygon at the corners

  • The exterior angle at a corner is the angle needed to make a straight line with the interior angles

    • It is not the angle that forms a full turn at the corner

  • The interior angle and exterior angle add up to 180° at each corner

interior and exterior angles summing to 180 degrees

What is the sum of the interior angles in a polygon?

  • To find the sum of the interior angles in a polygon of n sides, use the rule

    • Sum of interior angles = 180 degree space cross times space left parenthesis n space – space 2 right parenthesis

      • This formula comes from the fact that n-sided polygons can be split into n minus 2 triangles

  • Remember the sums for these polygons

    • The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°

    • The interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360°

    • The interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540°

What is the sum of the exterior angles in a polygon?

  • The exterior angles in any polygon always sum to 360°

How do I find the size of an interior or exterior angle in a regular polygon?

  • To find the size of an interior angle in a regular polygon:

  • Method 1
    Find the sum of the interior angles
