Properties and Attributes of Polygons

3. Objective: The students will be able to find the measures of interior and exterior angles of polygons.

4. Names of Polygons Some polygons have special names
A polygon with n sides is an n-gon

5. Definition
Diagonal
a segment that connects two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon
Consecutive means they are next to each other. So, nonconsecutive means they are not next to each other

6. Definition Interior Angle [of a polygon]
angles inside the polygon that are formed by 2 sides of a polygon
Ex. This Pentagon has 5 interior angles

7. To find the sum of the interior angle measures of a convex polygon, cut the polygon up into triangles.
You must start at a vertex and not cross any diagonals.
By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 180°.
Remember!
180 o
360 o
540 o o
720

9. In each convex polygon, the number of triangles formed is two less than the number of sides n. So the sum of the angle measures of all these triangles
is (n — 2)180°.

11. Theorem 6.1 Polygon Angle Sum Theorem
If a convex polygon has n sides and the sum of the measures of the interior angles = S, then
S = (n - 2)180

ARCHITECTURE A mall is designed so that five walkways meet at a food court that is in the shape of a regular pentagon. Find the sum of measures of the interior angles of the pentagon.
Polygon Angle Sum Theorem
Answer: The sum of the measures of the angles is 540.

Example 1-3d

18. Definition Exterior Angle [of a polygon]
the angles formed between the extended side of a polygon and an adjacent side

19. Theorem 6.2 Exterior Angle Sum
If a polygon is convex then the sum of the exterior angles is 360

20. The sum of the measures of the exterior angles is 360.
Find the measures of an exterior angle and an interior angle of convex regular nonagon ABCDEFGHJ.
The sum of the measures of the exterior angles is 360.
Answer: The measure of each exterior angle is 40.
The measure of the interior angle is 180 – 40 or 140.
Example 1-4a
