theorem Polygon Interior Angles The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 180( n – 2) o n is the number of sides.

corollary Regular Polygon Interior Angle The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is

180n – 360 = 165n example The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 165 o. How many sides does the polygon have? 180(n – 2) = 165n -360 = -15n 24 = n

theorem Polygon Exterior Angles The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex polygon (one at each vertex) is 360 o
