Properties of Polygons

A. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote
interior angles.
Example: exterior angle:

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