Angles and Polygons LESSON 7-6 Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an octagon. An octagon has 8 sides. (n – 2) 180º = (8 – 2) 180º Substitute 8 for n. = 1,080ºSimplify. = (6) 180ºSubtract. The sum of the interior angles of an octagon is 1,080. Additional Examples
Example 6-3a Traffic Signs A stop sign is a regular octagon. What is the measure of one interior angle in a stop sign? Step 1 Find the sum of the measures of the angles. An octagon has 8 sides. Therefore,. Replace n with 8. Simplify. Step 2 Divide the sum by 8 to find the measure of one angle. The sum of the measures of the interior angles is 1080°. Answer: So, the measure of one interior angle in a stop sign is 135°. Find Angle Measure of a Regular Polygon
Angles and Polygons LESSON 7-6 Find the missing angle measure in the hexagon. Step 1 Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a hexagon. (n – 2) 180° = (6 – 2) 180° Substitute 6 for n. Simplify. = 720° Additional Examples
Angles and Polygons LESSON 7-6 (continued) Step 2 Write an equation. 720° = 120° + 115° + 136° + 80° + 147° + x° Write an equation. Let x = the missing angle measure. 720° = 598° + x° Add. 122° = x° Subtract 598º from each side. The missing angle measure is 122º. Additional Examples
Angles and Polygons A design on a tile is in the shape of a regular nonagon. Find the measure of each angle. LESSON 7-6 Each angle of a regular nonagon has a measure of 140°. (n – 2) 180° = (9 – 2) 180° Substitute 9 for n since a nonagon has 9 sides. = 1,260° Simplify. 1,260° ÷ 9 = 140° Divide the sum by the number of angles in a nonagon. Additional Examples
