3.3 Angles of Polygons
Essential Question: How can you find the sum of the interior/ exterior
angle measures of a polygon?
Polygon:
A closed figure with straight sides and does not
have any lines that cross through the middle.

Polygon: A closed figure with straight sides and does not have any
lines that cross through the middle.
Thumbs: Polygons or Not Polygons?

A diagonal:
a line segment
connects two non-adjacent vertices of a polygon
Diagonal
How to find the sum of the interior angles:
1st:Draw a line from one vertex to another vertex. Repeat until
you have connected all vertices (lines can’t overlap)
2nd: The quadrilateral has 4 sides and is made up of 2 triangles
3rd: A triangle has 180
4th: Therefore the sum of the interior angles is (2 triangles x 180)
for a sum of 360
Diagonal
180
180
Divide each polygon into triangles
Sum of interior angles = (4 triangles)180
Therefore the sum of the interior angles is 720

How to find the sum of the interior angles:
The pentagon has 5 angles and is made up of 3 triangles
Therefore the sum of the interior angles is 180(3) = 540

Regular Polygon: A polygon where all sides are congruent and all
interior angles are congruent.

There are 6 sides and 4
triangles:
Sum = (n - 2)180
Therefore the sum of the
interior angles is 720
Step 2:
Divide sum of interior angles by # of angles
(6 angles) 720 ÷ 6 = 120
Or:

Vocabulary
Convex Polygon: A polygon where every line segment connecting
any two vertices lies entirely inside the polygon.
Concave Polygon: A polygon where at least one line segment
connecting any two vertices lies entirely outside the polygon.
