What is the formula to find the sum of all of the interior angles in a regular polygon?
Sum = (n - 2)180
N is number of sides
What is the sum of all of the interior angles of a 12-gon?
1,800 degrees
One interior angle is 150 degrees
What is the sum of all of the interior angles of a 102-gon?
18,000
One interior angle is ~176.5 degrees
What is the sum of all of the interior angles of a 90-gon?
15,840
One interior angle is 176 degrees
What is the sum of all of the interior angles of a 36-gon?
6,120
One interior angle is 170 degrees
How do you find the measure of one of the interior angles of a regular polygon, given the sum of all interior angles and the total number of sides?
Take the sum of all of the interior angles, and then divide it by the total number of sides
Example - The sum of all of the sides in a 12-gon is 1,800. To find the measure of one angle, do 1,800/12 = 150
How do you find the number of sides in a regular polygon, given the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE?
180 - interior angle measure = exterior angle measure
360/exterior angle measure = number of sides
How do you find the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE, given the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE?
180 - interior angle measure
How do you find the number of sides in a regular polygon, given the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE?
360/measure of one exterior angle
If the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 174 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
180 - 174 = 6
The measure of one exterior angle is 6 degrees
360/6 = 60
There are 60 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 156 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
180 - 156 = 24
The measure of one exterior angle is 24 degrees
360/24 = 15
There are 15 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 165 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
180 - 165 = 15
The measure of one exterior angle is 15 degrees
360/15 = 24
There are 24 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE INTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 177.5 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
180 - 177.5 = 2.5
The measure of one exterior angle is 2.5 degrees
360/2.5 = 144
There are 144 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 12 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
360/12 = 30
There are 30 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 45 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
360/45 = 8
There are 8 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 18 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
360/18 = 20
There are 20 sides in the polygon
If the measure of ONE EXTERIOR ANGLE in a regular polygon is 14.4 degrees, how many sides are in the polygon?
360/14.4 = 25
There are 25 sides in the polygon
