Sum of interior angels of n sided polygon
Theorem; the sum S of interior angels of n sided regular polygon is given by
S=( n-2)
EXAMPLE 1. Find the sum of all interior angels of
a. A hexagon
b. An octagon
c. A decagon
SOLUTION
We have to understand the required before we start calculation
The required one is the sum of interior angles
The Given one is the number of sides
a. n=6
S= (n-2)180
=(6-2)180
=4(180)
=
b. n= 8
S =( n-2)180
=( 8-2)180
=6(180)
= 1080
Exercise
1. find the sum of all interior angels of
a. a pentagon
b. a nonagon
c. a 20 sided
2. find the number of sides of a polygon whose sum of all interior angel is
a. 1440 degree
b. 1800 degree
c. 1980 degree

Sub topic ; interior angle, exterior angle and central angl
 If n is the number of sides of a regular n sided polygon then
 The degree measure of each interior angle Ө is

Ө=

 The degree measure of each exterior angle Ө is

Ө=

 The degree measure of each central angle Ө is

Ө=
Example: 1. Find the degree measure of each interior angle of a regular
a. Hexagon
b. Octagon
c. Decagon
2. Find the degree measure of each central angle of a regular
a. Quadrilateral
b. Triangle
c. Heptagon
3. Find the degree measure of each exterior angle of a regular
a. Pentagon
b. Hexagon
c. Nonagon
SOLUTION
1 .a. the number of side of a hexagon is 6
Hence n = 6
The degree measure of each interior angle Ө is

Ө=
= (6-2)180\6
= 4*180\6
= 720\6
=120

 b. the number of sides of octagon is 8
b. the number of sides of an octagon is 8
therefore n = 8
The degree measure of each interior angle Ө is

Ө=
=(8-2)180\8
=6*180\8
= 1080\8
= 135
c. The number of sides of a decagon is 10
Therefore n = 10
 The degree measure of each interior angle Ө is

Ө=
=(10-2)180/10
=8*180/10
= 144
2. a. The degree measure of each central angle Ө is

Ө=
= 360\4
= 90
b. .The degree measure of each central angle Ө is
Ө=
The number of sides of a triangle is 3
Hence n = 3
Ө=
= 120
C Left to exercise
3. a. the number of sides of a pentagon is 5
 Hence n = 5 The degree measure of each exterior angle Ө is
Ө=
=360\5
=72

 b. the number of sides of a hexagon is 6
hence n = 6
The degree measure of each exterior angle Ө is
Ө=
= 360/6
= 120
c. left to exercise

Apothem, perimeter, side length and area of a regular polygon
Theorem; the apothem a, side length s, perimeter p, and area A of regular N sided polygon with radius r is
given by
 a =r cos
 s=2r sin
 p=2rn sin
 A= Pa
Example:
1 . if the radius is 8cm, then find apothem ,side length,perimeter,and area of a regular
a. hexagon
b. pentagon
c. nonagon
solution:
a. the number of sides a hexagon is 6
hence ,n=6
a =r cos
a=8 cos
a=8cos30
= 8(√ /2) = 4√
 Side length s=2r sin
s=28 sin
S= 16 sin 30
S= 16(1/2)
=8
 Perimeter p=2rn sin
= 2(8)6( sin )
= 96(sin30)
= 96(1/2)
= 49
 The area of a regular n sided polygon is
A= Pa
A= 49(4√ ) =
96√
B and c are left to exercise
