Additional Example 1A: Finding Sums of the Angle Measures in Polygons Find the sum of the angle measures in a hexagon ° = 720° 4 triangles Divide the figure into triangles. Course Classifying Polygons
Additional Example 1B: Finding Sums of the Angle Measures in Polygons Continued Find the sum of the angle measures in a octagon ° = 1080° 6 triangles Divide the figure into triangles. Course Classifying Polygons
The pattern is that the number of triangles is always 2 less than the number of sides. So an n-gon can be divided into n – 2 triangles. The sum of the angle measures of any n-gon is 180°(n – 2). All the sides and angles of a regular polygon have equal measures. Course Classifying Polygons
Additional Example 2A: Finding the Measure of Each Angle in a Regular Polygon Find the angle measures in the regular polygon. 6 congruent angles 6x° = 180°(6 – 2) 6x° = 180°(4) 6x° = 720° 6x° 66x° 6 720° 6 = x° = 120° Course Classifying Polygons
Additional Example 2B: Finding the Measure of Each Angle in a Regular Polygon Find the angle measures in the regular polygon. 4 congruent angles 4y° = 180°(4 – 2) 4y° = 180°(2) 4y° = 360° y° = 90° 4y° 44y° 4 360° 4 = Course Classifying Polygons
