Sum of the Interior Angles in Polygons
Draw all of the diagonals from the marked vertex until the polygon is separated into non-overlapping
triangles. Complete the table for each polygon below. Based on the patterns observed in the first five
polygons, generalize what the angle sum for an n-gon would be.
