What are Polygons?
A polygon is a closed, two-dimensional shape formed by at
least three straight line segments that intersect at their
endpoints, called vertices. Depending on the number of sides,
we can have different types of polygons, such as triangles,
quadrilaterals, pentagons, and so on. Each of these polygons
has a set of interior and exterior angles, which are the
angles formed by the intersection of the sides within and
outside the polygon.
 Introducing Exterior
Angles
Visualizing Exterior Angles!!

An exterior angle of a polygon is the angle

formed by extending one of the sides of
the polygon outward. These angles are
always supplementary to their
corresponding interior angles, meaning
that the sum of an exterior angle and its
corresponding interior angle is always 180
degrees.
What Are Exterior Angles??!
The Exterior angle theorem states that the
measure of the exterior angle of a triangle
is equal to the sum of the measures of its
remote interior angles. This important

square, each vertex has one exterior

properties of exterior angles is
crucial for understanding their role
in polygon geometry.

Equal Exterior Angle
1 In a regular polygon, all exterior
angles are congruent (equal in
measure) because the interior
angles are also congruent, and the
sum of the exterior angles is
always 360 degrees.

This property is a valuable tool for
solving various geometric problems.
Relationship to Interior Angles
The measure of an exterior angle can

measure of the corresponding
interior angle from 180 degrees, as
stated in the Exterior Angle
Theorem.

ARCHITECTURE
Exterior angles are crucial in
architectural design, from
determining roof angles to
ensuring the structural
integrity of buildings.
Architects must
carefully consider exterior
angles to create functional
and aesthetically pleasing
structures.
