EXTERIOR ANGLES
OF CONVEX
POLYGONS
Prepared by: Evelyn G. Colao
 Intended Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the discussion the students will be able to:
•
derives the formula in finding the measure of the interior angle and the
sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon
• find the measure of the interior angle and the sum of the interior angles of
a regular polygon
• explain correctly the process of finding the measure of the interior angle
and the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon.
• show interest in performing the task.
 Introductory activity
“The Four Corner Game”
How to play?
1.The teacher will write down one of the corner a NAME.
2. the students have 5 seconds to go to the corner
3. If you are in that corner then you are out and you must SIT
DOWN!
4. Repeat until only one students is standing

The Polygon Identiffication Challenge
The class will be split into two teams. Each team must select a
team leader. A marker and a sheet of manila paper will be
provided to each team. The teacher will show a polygon, and
the students must determine the number of sides and the name
of the polygon. They will have 10 seconds to write their
responses. Choose one member to present your answer.All
team members are expected to participate and contribute to
their team's success.
POLYGON NAME OF THE POLYGON NUMBER OF SIDES
Interior angle of a polygon is an angle
of the inside of a polygon formed by
each pair of adjacent sides.
•- The sum of the interior angles of any
polygon having (n) sides is 180 (n-2).
•The measure of one angle of a regular
polygon is given by.
•Exterior angle of a convex polygon is an
angle that is adjacent and forms a linear pair
with an interior angle of a polygon when
any side of a polygon is extended.
•The measure of an exterior angle at a vertex
of any polygon is the difference of 1800 and
the measure of an interior angle at the same
vertex.
