 LESSON 1:Sum
of Interior Angles
of a Polygon
 On a separate sheet of
paper, write CONVEX if
the given polygon is
convex, otherwise, write
CONCAVE/NON-
CONVEX.

On your previous module, you have learned that a

polygon can be convex or concave. Can you identify
which of the following polygons is convex or concave?
1.Convex
2.Concave
3.Convex
4.Convex
5.Concave
6.Concave
7.Convex
8.Convex
9.Concave
10.Convex
Did you know that the only
polygon that can never be
concave is a triangle?

For this part of the LESSON, we

will be exploring more about
triangles!
 a) What operation is involved
whenever we put numbers or things
together?
Now answer b) After putting the pieces together,
what do they look like?
the following c) What can you conclude about
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3?
questions: d) Draw and cut a right triangle. Tear
the angles and rearrange them as
what you did in the first triangle. Is
your answer in letter c the same?
Explain your answer.
e) What can you say about the sum of
interior angles of a triangle?
 In our exploration, we put the vertices of the triangle
together and the operation involved whenever we put
things together is addition. After putting them
together, we see that the vertices formed a
semicircle. A protractor is semicircle that is why we
know that the measure of it is 180°. Thus, we can
conclude that the sum of interior angles of a triangle
is 180°.

That information will be

very helpful for our lesson!
 Consider each convex
polygon with all possible
diagonals drawn from one
vertex. By doing this, you 5 3
can actually form triangles
within each polygon.
Complete the table below 6 4
by writing down the
number of sides and the
number of triangles 7 5
formed from the given
polygons.
8 6
 Did you see a pattern on the
number of triangles formed
with respect to the number of
sides of each polygon?
Since we know that the sum of
interior angles of one triangle
is equal to 180°, we can now
compute for the sum of 3 x 180= 540°
interior angles of each of the
given polygons by simply
multiplying the number of 4 x 180= 720°
triangles formed by 180°. Try
completing the table that
follows 5 x 180= 900°

6 x 180= 1080°
 Polygon Interior Angles Theorem

The sum of the measures of the interior

angles of a convex polygon with n sides
is (n – 2) 180°.

From there we will arrive to a more

generalized rule in finding the sum of
interior angles of any polygon.
1. Compute for the sum of interior angles of a
convex decagon.
Solution:
A convex decagon has 10 sides. Use the Polygon Interior
Angles Theorem and substitute 10 for n.
(n – 2) 180° = (10 – 2)(180°) (Substitute 10 for n)
= (8)(180°) (Simplify)
= 1440°

The sum of interior angles of a convex decagon is 1440°.

2. Given the figure below, find the measure of ∠C.
3. Find the measure of an interior angle
of a regular dodecagon.
Solution:
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a
dodecagon is:
(n – 2)(180°) = (12 – 2)(180°)
= (10)(180°)
= 1800°
4. If a certain polygon’s sum of interior angle is 2700°, how
many sides does the
polygon have?
 Compute for the sum of interior
angles of the following polygons.
1. Undecagon
2. 17-gon

On the previous lesson, you
Can you distinguish what’s wrong in have learned how to calculate

the correct solution on a separate
the sum of interior angles of
sheet of paper. polygons. Look at the
example above:
 The focus of the first
lesson is on interior
angles – angles that
we can find inside a
polygon. This lesson
focuses on exterior
angles! If you extend
the sides of any
polygon, you can form
angles outside the
polygons and that is
what we call exterior
angles. Angles 1, 2 and 3 are exterior
angles of the triangle.
 Now get another piece of
paper and let us explore and
discover the relationship
among exterior angles of
polygons.
 Arrange the exterior angles of each figure by putting their
vertices together. (Similar to what you did on exploration part
on Lesson 1)
Answer the following:
a.After arranging the exterior angles and putting their vertices
together, what shape did you from?
b.What can you say about the shapes you formed from the
three figures?
c. What can you say about the sum of their exterior angles?
From the previous activity, you might have formed something like
these:
After you put together the exterior angles
of each polygon, you can see that you
arrived with similar shape – which is a
circle. Therefore, we can say that the sum
of the exterior angles does not depend on
the number of sides of the polygon, unlike
the sum of the interior angles of a convex
polygon. It will always be 360°!
Polygon Exterior Angles
Theorem
The sum of the measures of
the exterior angles of a
convex polygon, one angle at
each vertex, is 360°.
m∠1 + m∠2 + · · · + m∠n =
360°
LESSON 2: Sum
of Interior Angles
of a Polygon
Illustrative Examples:

1. Given the figure below, find the value of x.

Solution:
x + 80 + 120 = 360 Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem
x + 200 = 360 Combining like terms
x + 200 – 200 = 360 – 200 Subtraction Property of Equality
x = 160
Therefore, the value of x is 160.
Illustrative Examples:
2. Given the figure below, find the value of x.

x+ 60 + 95 + 83 + 52 = 360 Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem

x + 290 = 360 Combining like terms
x + 290 – 290 = 360 – 290 Subtraction Property of Equality
x = 70

Therefore, the value of x is 70.

Illustrative Examples:

3. A convex heptagon has exterior angles with

measures 30°, 33°, 45°, 54°,67°, and 79°. What is
the measure of an exterior angle at the seventh
vertex? Solution:
Let x = be the seventh exterior angle
x + 30+ 33+45+ 54+67+ 79 = 360
x + 308 = 360
x + 308 – 308 = 360 – 308
x = 52
Therefore, the value of x is 52.
Illustrative Examples:

4. Find the measure of one of the exterior angles of a regular

Dodecagon.
Solution:
Since the sum of interior angles is always 360° and the
given polygon is a regular polygon, we simply divide 360°
by the number of sides. A regular dodecagon has 12 sides,
so:

Hence, one exterior angle of a regular dodecagon

measures 30°.
