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.
