1 Sum of Interior Angles and Number of Diagonals in a Polygon

2 The interior angles are the angles inside the polygon. The sum of the interior angles is found when you add up all the angles inside a polygon.

3 The exterior angles are the angles supplemental to the interior angles. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360.

5 1) What are the patterns that you notice in the sum of interior angles? 2) What are the patterns that you notice in the number of diagonals?

6 Formula to Find Sum of Interior Angles Sum = 180(n – 2), when n is the number of sides. For example: Triangle = 3 sides = 180(n – 2) = 180(3 – 2) = 180(1) = 180

7 Formula to find the number of diagonals in a polygon: When n = number of sides in the polygon For example in a hexagon:

8 On the half sheet of paper, answer the following: 1)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with ten sides? 2)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with fifteen sides? 3)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with 20 sides? 4)How many diagonals are in a shape with eleven sides? 5)How many diagonals are in a shape with seventeen sides?

9 Homework: Find the sum of the interior angles and the number of diagonals in each polygon: 1)Nine-sided figure. 2)Twelve-sided figure. 3)Thirteen-sided figure. 4)Fourteen-sided figure. 5)Sixteen-sided figure.
