Objectives
• Find the sum of the measures of the
interior angles of a polygon
– Sum of Interior angles = (n-2) • 180
– One Interior angle = (n-2) • 180 / n
• Find the sum of the measures of the
exterior angles of a polygon
– Sum of Exterior angles = 360
– One Exterior angle = 360/n
– Exterior angle + Interior angle = 180
Vocabulary
• Diagonal – a segment that connects any two
nonconsecutive vertices in a polygon.

ARCHITECTURE A mall is
designed so that five walkways
meet at a food court that is in the
shape of a regular pentagon. Find
the sum of measures of the
interior angles of the pentagon.
Since a pentagon is a convex polygon, we can use the
Angle Sum Theorem.
Interior Angle Sum Theorem
Simplify.
Answer: The sum of the measures of the angles is 540.
The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon
is 135. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
Use the Interior Angle Sum Theorem to write an equation
to solve for n, the number of sides.
Interior Angle Sum Theorem
Distributive Property
Subtract 135n from each side.
Add 360 to each side.
Divide each side by 45.
Answer: The polygon has 8 sides.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon
is 144. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
Answer: The polygon has 10 sides.
Find the measure of each interior angle.
Since n = 4 the sum of the measures of the interior angles
is 180(4 – 2) or 360°. Write an equation to express the
sum of the measures of the interior angles of the polygon.
Sum of interior angles
Substitution
Combine like terms.
Subtract 8 from each side.
Divide each side by 32.
Use the value of x to find the measure of each angle.
Answer:
Find the measure of each interior angle.
Answer:
Find the measures of an exterior angle and an interior
angle of convex regular nonagon ABCDEFGHJ.
At each vertex, extend a side to form one exterior angle.
The sum of the measures of the exterior
angles is 360. A convex regular nonagon
has 9 congruent exterior angles.
9e = 360
e = measure of each
exterior angle
e = 40
Divide each side by 9.
Answer: Measure of each exterior angle is 40. Since each
exterior angle and its corresponding interior angle
form a linear pair, the measure of the interior angle is
180 – 40 or 140.
Find the measures of an exterior angle and an interior
angle of convex regular hexagon ABCDEF.

Summary & Homework
• Summary:
– If a convex polygon has n sides and sum of the
measures of its interior angles is S, then
S = 180(n-2)°
– The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a
convex polygon is 360°
– Interior angle + Exterior angle = 180 (linear pair)
