1. Measures of the exterior nagle of a regular polygon

N = 18 N = 20 N = 40
= 360/18 =360/20 =360/40
= 20 = 18 =9
Each exterior angle of an 20 Each exterior angle of an 18 Each exterior angle of a 40 sides

2. Measures of the interior angle of a regular polygon

( n−2 ) 180
measure of the interior angle of a polygon =
n

n = 18 n = 20 n = 40
( 18−2 ) 180 ( 20−2 ) 180 ( 40−2 ) 180
18 20 40
( 16 ) 180 ( 18 ) 180 ( 38 ) 180
18 20 40
=160 = 162 =171

3. Does the Polygon Interior Angle Sum Theorem apply for concave polygons? Investigate
and form a conjecture

Polygon Interior Angle Sum Theorem

The sum of the interior angle measures of an n-sided, convex polygon is

As seen in the statement above, the polygon must be convex. What this
means is just that the polygon cannot have angles that point in. If a polygon
does have an angle that points in, it is called concave, and this theorem does
not apply. In other words, all of the interior angles of the polygon must have a
measure of no more than 180° for this theorem to work.
The Polygon Interior Angle Sum Theorem would apply for the polygon on the left
(since it is a convex polygon), but not for the one on the right because the highlighted
angle points in. That angle has a measure greater than 180°.
