1 Sec. 3-5 The Polygon Angle-Sum Theorems Objectives: a)To classify Polygons b)To find the sums of the measures of the interior & exterior  s of Polygons.

2 Polygon:  A closed plane figure.  w/ at least 3 sides (segments)  The sides only intersect at their endpoints  Name it by starting at a vertex & go around the figure clockwise or counterclockwise listing each vertex you come across.

3 Which of the following figures are polygons? yesNo

4 Example 1: Name the 3 polygons S T U V W X Top XSTU Bottom WVUX Big STUVWX

5 I. Classify Polygons by the number of sides it has. Sides 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 nName Triangle Quadrilateral Pentagon Hexagon Heptagon Octagon Nonagon Decagon Dodecagon N-gon Interior  Sum

6 II. Also classify polygons by their Shape a) Convex Polygon – Has no diagonal w/ points outside the polygon. EA B C D b) Concave Polygon – Has at least one diagonal w/ points outside the polygon. * All polygons are convex unless stated otherwise.

7 III. Polygon Interior  sum 4 sides 2 Δs 2 180 = 360 5 sides 3 Δs 3 180 = 540

8 6 sides 4 Δs 4 180 = 720 All interior  sums are multiple of 180° Th(3-9) Polygon Angle – Sum Thm Sum of Interior  # of sides S = (n -2) 180

9 Examples 2 & 3:  Find the interior  sum of a 15 – gon. S = (n – 2)180 S = (15 – 2)180 S = (13)180 S = 2340  Find the number of sides of a polygon if it has an  sum of 900°. S = (n – 2)180 900 = (n – 2)180 5 = n – 2 n = 7 sides

10 Special Polygons:  Equilateral Polygon – All sides are .  Equiangular Polygon – All  s are .  Regular Polygon – Both Equilateral & Equiangular.

11 IV. Exterior  s of a polygon. 1 23 1 2 3 45

12 Th(3-10) Polygon Exterior  -Sum Thm  The sum of the measures of the exterior  s of a polygon is 360°.  Only one exterior  per vertex. 1 2 3 4 5 m  1 + m  2 + m  3 + m  4 + m  5 = 360 For Regular Polygons = measure of one exterior  The interior  & the exterior  are Supplementary. Int  + Ext  = 180

13 Example 4:  How many sides does a polygon have if it has an exterior  measure of 36°. = 36 360 = 36n 10 = n

14 Example 5:  Find the sum of the interior  s of a polygon if it has one exterior  measure of 24. = 24 n = 15 S = (n - 2)180 = (15 – 2)180 = (13)180 = 2340

15 Example 6:  Solve for x in the following example. x 100 4 sides Total sum of interior  s = 360 90 + 90 + 100 + x = 360 280 + x = 360 x = 80

16 Example 7:  Find the measure of one interior  of a regular hexagon. S = (n – 2)180 = (6 – 2)180 = (6 – 2)180 = (4)180 = (4)180 = 720 = 720 = 120
