Section 6.1 Notes: Angles of Polygons
A diagonal of a polygon is a segment that connects any two _____________ vertices.
The vertices of polygon PQRST that are not consecutive with vertex P are
vertices R and S. Therefore, polygon PQRST has two diagonals from vertex P,
PR and PS . Notice that the diagonals from vertex P separate the polygon into
three triangles.
The ____ of the angle measures of a polygon is the ____ of the angle measures of the
triangles formed by drawing all the possible diagonals from one vertex.
Since the sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180°, we can make a table and look for a pattern to find the sum of the angle
measures for any convex polygon.
This leads to the following theorem:
You can use the Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon and to find missing
measures in polygons.
Example 1: a) Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex nonagon.
b) Find the measure of each interior angle of parallelogram RSTU.
72
Recall from Lesson 1.6 that in a regular polygon, all of the interior angles are congruent. You can use this fact and the Polygon
Interior Angle Sum Theorem to find the interior angle measure of any regular polygon.
Example 2: A mall is designed so that five walkways meet at a food court that is in the
shape of a regular pentagon. Find the measure of one of the interior angles of the pentagon.
Given the interior angle measure of a regular polygon, you can also use the Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem to find a polygon’s
number of sides.
Example 3: a) The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 150°. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
b) The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 144°. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
Does a relationship exist between the number of sides a convex polygon and the sum of its exterior angle measures? Examine the
polygons below in which an exterior angle has been measured at each vertex.
Did you notice that the sum of the exterior angle measures in each case is 360°? This suggests the following theorem:
Example 4: a) Find the value of x in the diagram.
b) Find the measure of each exterior angle of
a regular decagon.
