Objectives:
The learners should be able to find the measure of sides and angles of polygon.

Let’s Recall

Complete the table.

Kinds of Polygon Number of sides
Triangle 1.)
2.) 5
3.) 8
Decagon 4.)
Heptagon 5.)

Let’s Understand

MEASURES OF SIDES AND ANGLES OF A CONVEX POLYGON

(𝑛−2) ∙ 180°
• The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is .
𝑛

• The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is (𝑛 − 2) ∙

180°.

Find the sum of the measures of the angles of the given polygon
1.) Triangle (3 sides)
(n – 2)180⁰ = (3 – 2)180⁰
= (1)180⁰
= 180⁰

2.) Pentagon (5 sides)

(n – 2)180⁰ = (5 – 2)180⁰
= (3)180⁰
= 540⁰

3.) Octagon (8 sides)

(n – 2)180⁰ = (8 – 2)180⁰
= (6)180⁰
= 1,080⁰

Find the measure of each angle of a regular polygon

1.) Pentagon (5 sides)
𝑛−2 5−2
( ) 180° = ( ) 180°
𝑛 5
3
= (5) 180°
540°
= 5
= 108°

2.) Octagon (8 sides)

𝑛−2 8−2
( ) 180° = ( ) 180°
𝑛 8
6
= (8) 180°
1080°
= 8
= 135°

3.) Hexagon (6 sides)

𝑛−2 6−2
( 𝑛
) 180° = ( 6
) 180°
4
= (6) 180°
720°
= 6
= 120°
