Polygons
The sum of interior angles for any polygon is 180° × (Number of sides (n) – 2) = 180(n – 2)

Parallel Lines
Useful for drawing certain quadrilaterals.
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart
running side by side, therefore they never meet.
(The matching arrows on the lines indicate they
are parallel.)

To ensure you are drawing parallel lines accurately,


it helps to know the following: Interior angles a b

and b add up to 180°. a

Example:
• Draw a straight horizontal line.

• Draw a vertical(ish) line through it.

• Measure the angle (a).

• If angle a is 75°, angle b will be 105°.

• And the parallel line can be drawn from that.

• Obviously the easiest angle to choose would be a right angle!

Perpendicular Lines
Useful for drawing certain quadrilaterals and certain triangles.

Perpendicular means lines that meet at 90°. So just


do that... using a protractor for accuracy of course!
