1 The Polygon angle- sum theorems Chapter 6 Section 1
Objective Students will… find the sum of the measurements of the interior angles of a polygon. Find the sum of the measures of the exterior angels of a polygon
Interior Angles The sum of the interior angle measures of a polygon depends on the number of sides the polygon has.
Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem (6-1) The sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon is (n-2) 180.
Turn to page 353… Look at Problem 1… Try the “Got It” problem at the bottom.
Corollary to the Polygon angle-sum theorem The measure of each interior angle of a regular n-gon is (n-2)180 n
On page 354… Look at Problem 2
Polygon Exterior angle-sum theorem (6-2) The sum of the measures of the exterior angels of a polygon, one at each vertex, is 360. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360.
