Study Notes
Regular Polygon
- A regular polygon with each exterior angle measuring 45 degrees has 8 sides.
- Formula for calculating exterior angle: ( \text{Exterior Angle} = \frac{360}{n} ) where ( n ) is the number of sides.
Exterior Angles of a Triangle
- In a triangle, the sum of the measures of all three exterior angles is always 360 degrees.
- If the sum of two exterior angles is 269 degrees, the third exterior angle measures 91 degrees.
Interior Angles of a Polygon
- The formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon is ( (n - 2) \times 180 ), where ( n ) represents the number of sides.
- For a 28-gon, the sum of the interior angle measures is 4680 degrees.
Finding Sides from Interior Angle Sum
- To find the number of sides ( s ) in a polygon where the sum of interior angles is 2700 degrees, use the equation ( 2700 = (s - 2) \times 180 ).
- Solving gives ( s = 17 ).
Solving for Variables
- Variables x and y can be any values; for this card, x = 123 and y = 58 are examples of specific values to find.
Interior Angle of a Regular Decagon
- Each interior angle of a regular decagon can be calculated using the formula ( \frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n} ).
- For a decagon (10 sides), each interior angle measures 144 degrees. The value is rounded to the nearest tenth if necessary.
