1 Angles and Diagonals in Polygons

2 The interior angles are the angles inside the polygon. The sum of the interior angles is found when you add up all the angles inside a polygon.

3 On a separate piece of paper: Fill in the rest of the table: ShapeNumber of Sides Sum of Interior Angles Number of Diagonals Triangle3 0 Quadrilateral360 Pentagon 5405 Hexagon6720 Heptagon790014 Octagon

4 1) What are the patterns that you notice in the sum of interior angles? 2) What are the patterns that you notice in the number of diagonals?

5 Formula to find Sum of Interior Angles Sum = 180(n – 2), when n is the number of sides. For example: Triangle = 3 sides = 180(n – 2) = 180(3 – 2) = 180(1) = 180

6 Formula to find the number of diagonals in a polygon: When n = number of sides in the polygon For example in a hexagon:

7 On the same paper as before, answer the following: 1)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with ten sides? 2)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with fifteen sides? 3)What is the sum of interior angles of a polygon with 20 sides? 4)How many diagonals are in a shape with eleven sides? 5)How many diagonals are in a shape with seventeen sides?
