1 Geometry Section 8.1 Find Angle Measures in Polygons

2 Angle Sums in Polygons POLYGON# OF SIDES# OF TRIANGLESSum of the measures of interior angles Triangle Quadrilateral Pentagon Hexagon Heptagon Octogon

3 Polygon Interior Angles Theorem The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n-gon is: (n – 2) · 180° (number of sides – 2) times 180°

4 Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

5 Examples 1. Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an 11-gon 2. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 1440°. Classify the polygon by the number of sides.

6 Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360°.

7 Example A convex hexagon has exterior angles with measures 34°, 49°, 58°, 67°, and 75°. What is the measure of an exterior angle at the sixth vertex?
