Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between an exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle in a polygon?

  • They are supplementary, summing to 180°. (correct)
  • They are equal.
  • They are complementary, summing to 90°.
  • Their sum depends on the number of sides of the polygon.

Exterior Angle

An angle formed by a polygon's side and the extension of its adjacent side, located outside the polygon.

Interior Angle

An angle formed between two adjacent sides inside a polygon.

Exterior Angle Sum Theorem

The sum of exterior angles of any polygon always equals 360 degrees.

Interior Angle Sum Formula

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is calculated as (n-2) * 180°, where n is the number of sides.

Will the number of triangles change?

Yes, the number of triangles will not change since you cannot draw a diagonal to the two adjacent vertices. You will always make n - 2 triangles.

Study Notes

Find an Exterior Angle Measure cont...

  • If m∠1 ≅ m∠3, m∠1 = 3x, and m∠2 = 2x (as in the diagram), you can equate them to 360

Find an Exterior Angle Measure cont...

  • If m∠1 ≅ m∠3 ≅ m∠4 ≅ m∠6, m∠2 ≅ m∠5, and m∠3 = m∠2 + 30, then m∠4 = 70

Individual activity

  • SAT/ACT The figure below is a regular polygon. What is the value of n? Round to the nearest whole number.
  • Concave polygon is a polygon that has an interior angle greater than 180°
  • A polygon that has no interior angles greater than 180° is a convex polygon
  • A hexagon in which all angles measure 120° is an example of an equiangular polygon
  • An octagon in which all angles measure 135° and all sides are 6 cm long is an example of a regular polygon
  • An angle inside a polygon is an interior angle

Geometry Figures

  • A figure with equal angled is equiangular
  • A figure with equal sides is equilateral

Angles

  • An exterior angle is not acute, not interior, and not straight
  • A square is equiangular and equilateral
