6-1 Solve It!
Objectives To find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon
To find the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon
You don’t need
to draw all the
diagonals from
every vertex.
Sketch a convex pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon. For each figure,
draw all the diagonals you can from one vertex. What conjecture can
you make about the relationship between the number of sides of a
polygon and the number of triangles that its diagonals form?
