OF POLYGONS

9. POLYGON INTERIOR ANGLES
THEOREM
•The sum of the measures of the
interior angles of a convex polygon
with n sides is (n – 2) 180°.

10. 1. Compute for the sum of interior angles of a convex decagon.
Solution: A convex decagon has 10 sides. Use the Polygon Interior Angles
Theorem and substitute 10 for n.
(n – 2) 180° = (10 – 2)(180°) (Substitute 10 for n)
= (8)(180°) (Simplify)
= 1440°
The sum of interior angles of a convex decagon is 1440°.

11. 2. Given the figure below, find the measure of ∠C.
The polygon has 5 sides, so the sum of interior angles
is 540°. (Refer to the second table)
Add the measures of the interior angles and set the
sum to be equal to 540°
m∠C + 75 + 150 + 90 + 90 = 540 (Add similar terms)
m∠C + 405 = 540 (Subtract 405 from each side)
m∠C = 135

12. 3. Find the measure of an interior angle of a regular dodecagon.
Solution:
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a dodecagon is:
(n – 2)(180°) = (12 – 2)(180°)
= (10)(180°)
= 1800°
Since the dodecagon is regular, each angle has the same measure. Hence,
we just divide the sum which is 1800° by 12 to get the measure of one interior
angle.
1800°
12 = 150°
The measure of an interior angle of a regular dodecagon is 150°.
From this example we can have a more generalized formula in getting the
measure of one interior angle of any regular polygon and that is:
(n - 2) 180°
n

13. 4. If a certain polygon’s sum of interior angle is 2700°, how many sides does

•m∠1 + m∠2 + · · · + m∠n = 360°

35. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES:
1. Given the figure below, find the value of x.
Solution:
x + 80 + 120 = 360 Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem
x + 200 = 360 Combining like terms
x + 200 – 200 = 360 – 200 Subtraction Property of Equality
x = 160
Therefore, the value of x is 160

36. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES:
2. Given the figure below, find the value of x.
x + 60 + 95 + 83 + 52 = 360 Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem
x + 290 = 360 Combining like terms
x + 290 – 290 = 360 – 290 Subtraction Property of Equality
x = 70
Therefore, the value of x is 70.

37. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES:
3. A convex heptagon has exterior angles with measures 30°,
33°, 45°, 54°,67°, and 79°. What is the measure of an exterior
angle at the seventh vertex?
Solution:
Let x = be the seventh exterior angle
x + 30+ 33+45+ 54+67+ 79 = 360
x + 308 = 360
x + 308 – 308 = 360 – 308
x = 52

38. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES:
4. Find the measure of one of the exterior angles of a regular
Dodecagon.
Solution:
Since the sum of interior angles is always 360° and the
given polygon is a regular polygon, we simply divide 360°
by the number of sides. A regular dodecagon has 12 sides,
so:
360°=360° = 30°
n 12
Hence, one exterior angle of a regular dodecagon
measures 30°.
