Measures of Interior & Exterior Angles


What is the pattern? You may have
found in the activity that the sum of
the measures of the interior angles
of a convex, n-gon is
(n – 2) ● 180.
This relationship can be used to find
the measure of each interior angle
in a regular n-gon because the
angles are all congruent.

Polygon Interior Angles Theorem

The sum of the
measures of the
interior angles of a
convex n-gon is
(n – 2) ● 180
COROLLARY:
The measure of
each interior
angle of a
regular n-gon is:


n
or
● (n-2) ● 180
( n  2)(180)

Ex. 1: Finding measures of Interior
Angles of Polygons

Find the value of x
in the diagram
shown:
142
88
Leave this

let them figure it
out.

SOLUTION:


The sum of the
measures of the
interior angles of
any hexagon is (6
– 2) ● 180 = 4 ●
180 = 720.
Add the measure
of each of the
interior angles of
the hexagon.
142
88
136
105
136
x
6
SOLUTION:
136 + 136 + 88 +
142 + 105 +x =
720.
The sum is 720
607 + x = 720 Simplify.
X = 113 Subtract 607 from
each side.
•The measure of the sixth interior angle of
the hexagon is 113.

Ex. 2: Find the No. of Sides of a Polygon


The measure of each interior angle
is 140. How many sides does the
polygon have?
USE THE COROLLARY
8
Solution:
( n  2)(180)
n
= 140
(n – 2) ●180= 140n
Corollary to Thm. 11.1
Multiply each side by n.
180n – 360 = 140n
Distributive Property
40n = 360
Addition/subtraction
props.
n = 90
Divide each side by 40.

Notes

The diagrams on the next slide
show that the sum of the measures
of the exterior angles of any convex
polygon is 360. You can also find
the measure of each exterior angle
of a REGULAR polygon.

Sports Equipment: If you were
designing the home plate marker
for some new type of ball game,
would it be possible to make a
home plate marker that is a regular
polygon with each interior angle
having a measure of:
a. 135°?
b. 145°?
