Interior and Exterior Angles of Polygons

Front

What is an exterior angle of a polygon?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees.

Front

How do you calculate the measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon?

Back

The measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula: Exterior Angle = 360° / n, where n is the number of sides.

Front

What is the formula for finding the sum of interior angles of a polygon?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using the formula: Sum = (n - 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides.

How do you find the number of sides of a polygon given an interior angle?

Back

To find the number of sides (n) of a polygon given an interior angle (I), use the formula: n = 360° / (180° - I).
