Understanding Angles in Convex Polygons

The video tutorial explains the concepts of interior and exterior angles in convex polygons. It covers the sum of angles in triangles and extends this understanding to polygons like quadrilaterals and pentagons. The video introduces a theorem for calculating the sum of interior angles in any convex polygon and demonstrates this with a heptagon example. The sum of exterior angles is shown to be constant at 360 degrees, regardless of the polygon's sides.

What is the relationship between interior and exterior angles in a convex polygon?

• They form a linear pair.

• They are equal.

• They are supplementary.

• They are complementary.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

• 270 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 90 degrees

How do you calculate the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

• 720 degrees

• 540 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees

What is the sum of the exterior angles of any convex polygon?

• 720 degrees

• 540 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees

How many triangles can be formed inside a pentagon to calculate its interior angles?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What is the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides?

• (n - 2) x 90 degrees

• (n - 2) x 180 degrees

• n x 180 degrees

• n x 360 degrees

For a polygon with 5 sides, what is the sum of its interior angles?

• 360 degrees

• 540 degrees

• 720 degrees

• 900 degrees

How do you find the measure of each interior angle in a regular heptagon?

• Divide the sum of interior angles by 8

• Divide the sum of interior angles by 7

• Divide the sum of interior angles by 6

• Divide the sum of interior angles by 5

What is the measure of each exterior angle in a regular heptagon?

• 90 degrees

• 51 and 3/7 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 72 degrees

Why do the calculations for interior and exterior angles only work for regular polygons?

• Because the polygon is concave

• Because all sides are equal

• Because all angles are equal

• Because the polygon is convex
