    6-1 The Polygon Angle-Sum Theorems

    Uploaded by

    Mary Ann Nazar
    The document discusses theorems related to the sums of interior and exterior angles of polygons. It states that the sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n-2)180 degrees. It then provides examples of finding interior angle sums for polygons with specific numbers of sides. The document also notes that the sum of the exterior angles of any polygon, with one angle at each vertex, is always 360 degrees.

    Problem 1: Finding a Polygon Angle Sum

    What is the sum of the interior


    angle measures of a heptagon?
    What is the sum of the interior
    angle measures of a 17-gon?
    The sum of the interior angle
    measures of a polygon is 1980.
    How can you find the number of
    sides in the polygon?
    Corollary to the Polygon Angle-Sum
    Theorem
    The measure of each interior
    angle of a regular n-gon is
    2 180

    Problem 2: Using the Polygon Angle-Sum
    Theorem
    The common housefly has eyes that consist of
    approximately 4000 facets. Each facet is a regular
    hexagon. What is the measure of each interior angle
    in on hexagonal facet?
    What is the measure of each
    interior angle in a regular
    nonagon?
    Problem 3: Using the Polygon Angle-Sum
    Theorem
    You can draw exterior angles at any vertex of a
    polygon. The figures below show that the sum
    of the measures of the exterior angles, one at
    each vertex is 360.
    Polygon Exterior Angle-Sum Theorem
    The sum of the measures of the
    exterior angles of a polygon, one at
    each vertex, is 360.
