The diagram shows the The sum of the measures of the

angles of a convex polygon, one at angles of a convex polygon
each vertex. The measures of those depends on the number of sides. The
angles always add up to the same angles add up to 180° · (n − ),
number, . where n is the number of sides of the
polygon.
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 =
180° · (5 − 2) =

180° • (6 − 2) = 720°

3. Use the figure shown. Find the sum of the exterior angles of the pentagon.
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5 =
