Remember – There are 2 ways of doing this
Method 1
To find the Interior Angle Sum (IAS) for an ‘n’ sided polygon
x = exterior angle
y = interior angle
The exterior angles of any
polygon sum to 360°
Each Exterior Angle
x = 360 ÷ n
So… For a regular hexagon:
Each exterior angle = 360 ÷ 6 = 60°
Each interior angle = 180 - 60 = 120°
Each Interior Angle
y = 180 - x

Method 2
To find the Interior Angle Sum (IAS) for an ‘n’ sided polygon
Any polygon can be
split into (n-2) triangles
The IAS is the sum of all
the triangles:180(n-2)
So… For a regular pentagon:
IAS = 180(5-2) = 180 x 3 = 540°
Each interior angle = 540 ÷ 5 = 108°
Lesson
Each Interior Angle
= IAS ÷ n
Each Exterior Angle
= 180 - Interior angle
Practice 1: Regular Ploygons
1.
Are you ready for
the answers ?
A decagon is a polygon with 10 sides.
Work out the size of each exterior angle of a regular decagon
2.
360 ÷ 10 = 36°
The size of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 40°.
Work out the number of sides of the polygon
3.
360 ÷ 40 = 9 sides
Diagram NOT accurately drawn
Work out the size of each interior angle of a regular octagon.
360 ÷ 8 = 45
4.
180 – 45 = 135°
The size of each exterior angle of an regular polygon is 24°.
Work out the number of sides the polygon has.
Lesson
360 ÷ 24 = 15 sides
