To find the sum of the interior angle measures of a convex polygon, draw all possible diagonals from one vertex of the polygon. This creates a set of triangles. The sum of the angle measures of all the triangles equals the sum of the angle measures of the polygon.

By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 180°. Remember!

24
From the previous slide, we have discovered that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n - gon is (n – 2) ∙ 180 This relationship can be used to find the measure of each interior angle in a regular n - gon because the angles are all congruent.
25
Theorem 8.1 Polygon Interior Angles Sum If a convex polygon has n sides and S is the sum of its interior angles, then S = (n – 2)180. Example: m ∠ A+m ∠ B+m ∠ C+m ∠ D+m ∠ E = (5 – 2)180 = 540 A B C ED
26
Example 1 Use the Polygon Interior Angles Theorem Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex heptagon. SOLUTION A heptagon has 7 sides. Use the Polygon Interior Angles Theorem and substitute 7 for n. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex heptagon is 900°. ANSWER (n – 2) · 180° = (7 – 2) · 180° Substitute 7 for n. = 5 · 180° Simplify. = 900° Multiply.
27
Example 2 Find the Measure of an Interior Angle SOLUTION The polygon has 6 sides, so the sum of the measures of the interior angles is: The measure of A is 113°. ANSWER (n – 2) · 180° = (6 – 2) · 180° = 4 · 180° = 720°. Find the measure of A in the diagram. Add the measures of the interior angles and set the sum equal to 720°. 136° + 136° + 88° + 142° + 105° + m A = 720° The sum is 720°. 607° + m A = 720° Simplify. m A = 113° Subtract 607°.
28
Example 3 Interior Angles of a Regular Polygon SOLUTION The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any octagon is: The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is 135°. ANSWER (n – 2) · 180° = (8 – 2) · 180° = 6 · 180° = 1080°. Because the octagon is regular, each angle has the same measure. So, divide 1080° by 8 to find the measure of one interior angle. 8 1080° = 135° Find the measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon.
