Sum of exterior angles = ______

___ exterior angles
so e = ___ ÷ __ = ___

i = 180 - ___ = ___

 Regular Polygon with n sides

Sum of exterior angles = 360

n exterior angles
so e = 360 ÷ n =
360
n
i = 180 -

360
n

Eg. Dodecagon n = 12
e = 360 ÷ 12 = 30 i = 180 - 30 = 150

360
Sum of interior angles =

180(n - 2)
