B. The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon S with n sides is given by:
S= ( n−2 ) 180 °.
(n – 2)180 °
The measure of each interior angle of n-sided regular polygon is given by:

360°
The measure of each exterior angle of an n-sided regular polygon is given by:
n
Example: B S= ( n−2 ) 180 °
Find m ∠S .
S= ( 3−2 ) 180 °

EXERCISE 3
EVALUATION
Solve the following problems involving sides and angles of polygons. Show your solution.
1. A regular polygon has an exterior angle that measures 40°. How many sides does the
polygon have?
2. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 1980°. Find the
number of sides of the polygon.
3. A regular pentagon and a regular hexagon are connected as shown in the figure. Find
the measure of ∠ AVB . (Hint: ∠ AVB=c +d )
a=¿ ¿
