Study Notes
Regular Polygons
- All sides are equal in length
- All interior angles are equal in measure
Irregular Polygons
- Sides are not all equal in length
- Interior angles are not all equal in measure
Measuring Angles in Polygons
- The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n - 2) * 180 degrees
- To find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon, divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides
Hexagon
- A hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides
Decagon
- A decagon has 10 sides
- The sum of the interior angles of a decagon is (10 - 2) * 180 = 1440 degrees
- Each interior angle of a regular decagon measures 1440 / 10 = 144 degrees
