The Polygon Angle-Sum
Theorems
Objective:
•To find the sum of the measures

of the interior angles of a polygon

•To find the sum of the measures

of the exterior angles of a polygon

Theorem 6-1 Polygon Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the n interior angles of an n-gon
1800 (n – 2)
is ______________.

Example:
Rectangle – 4 interior angles
4 right angles
4 (900) = 3600
The sum of the
n term: 180 (n – 2)
th 0
measures of the
n=4 interior angles of a
1800 (4 -2)= 3600 quadrilateral is 3600
Three Types of Polygons
 a + b + c = 1800

Triangle Sum Conjecture

b y (a + b + c) + (x + y + z) = 3600
