     All learners can evaluate the different formulae used to find the Interior
    angles, exterior angles and number of sides of various Polygons.

    What are Polygons?


    A polygon is any shape made up of straight lines that can be drawn on a flat surface,
    like a piece of paper. Such shapes include squares, rectangles, triangles and
    pentagons but not circles or any other shape that includes a curve.

    Understanding shapes is important in mathematics. You will certainly be required to


    learn about shapes at school but understanding the properties of shapes has many
    practical applications in professional and real-life situations too.

    Many professionals need to understand the properties of shapes, including engineers,


    architects, artists, real-estate agents, farmers and construction workers.

    Types of Polygons

    There are two main types of polygon - regular and irregular.

    A regular polygon has equal length sides with equal angles between each side. Any
    other polygon is an irregular polygon, which by definition has unequal length sides
    and unequal angles between sides.

    Circles and shapes that include curves are not polygons - a polygon, by definition, is
    made up of straight lines.
    Angles between Sides
    The angles between the sides of shapes are important when defining and working
    with polygons.

    There is a useful formula for finding out the total (or sum) of internal angles for any
    polygon, that is:

    (number of sides - 2) × 180°

    Example:

    For a pentagon (a five-sided shape) the calculation would be:

    5-2=3

    3 × 180 = 540°.

    The sum of internal angles for any pentagon is 540°.

    Furthermore, if the shape is a regular polygon (all angles and length of sides are
    equal) then you can simply divide the sum of the internal angles by the number of
    sides to find each internal angle.

    540 ÷ 5 = 108°.

    A regular pentagon therefore has five angles each equal to 108°.

    Important Formulae
    Hence, we know that

    1. Sum of interior angles of polygon = (n-2) x 180


    2. Size of each interior angle = sum of interior angles

    n (Where n = number of sides)


    3. Interior Angle + Exterior Angle = 180 ( As we already know)
    4. Sum of Exterior Angles = the Exterior Angles of All polygons add up to 360

    Hence you can use this property of the polygons to find the size of each exteriors
    angle

    5. Each exterior angle = 360__________

    Number of sides

    6. Number of Sides = 360__________

    Each exterior Angle
