Angles, Triangles, and Polygons: Understanding the Degrees Inside Geometric Shapes

The video tutorial explains the properties of angles in triangles and polygons. It begins with the concept that the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees and how to find missing angles. It then covers exterior angles in triangles, showing that they equal the sum of the opposite interior angles. The tutorial also discusses isosceles triangles, highlighting that two angles are equal. Moving to polygons, it explains how to calculate the sum of interior angles using triangles and provides formulas for regular polygons' interior and exterior angles.

What is the sum of the interior angles in any triangle?

• 360 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 90 degrees

In a triangle, if two interior angles are 55 and 107 degrees, what is the measure of the exterior angle adjacent to the third angle?

• 120 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 162 degrees

What is a key characteristic of an isosceles triangle?

• It has a right angle

• All sides are different

• Two angles are equal

• All angles are different

How do you calculate the sum of interior angles in a polygon?

• Multiply the number of sides by 180

• Subtract 2 from the number of sides and multiply by 180

• Add 2 to the number of sides and multiply by 180

• Divide the number of sides by 180

What is the sum of all exterior angles in any polygon?

• 720 degrees

• 540 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees
