For a regular n-gon: a. What is the sum of the measures of its angles? b. What is the measure of each angle? c. What is the sum of the measures of its exterior angles, one at each vertex? d. What is the measure of each exterior angle? e. Find the sum of your answers to parts b and d. Explain why this sum makes sense. can you Please explain
Are you talking the sum of the interior or exterior angles of the regular n-gon?
yep
not for this: a. What is the sum of the measures of its angles?
(n-2)*180/n
i gave this as an answer
N-gon Ext angle = 360/ N-gon Int angle = 180 - 360/N-gon Ratio is 360/N-gon : 180 - 360/N-gon Ratio is 360/N-gon : (180*N-gon - 360)/N-Gon Ratio is 360 : 180*N-gon - 360 Ratio = 360 : 180(N-gon - 2) Ration = 2 : 1*(N-gon - 2) Ratio = 2: (N-gon - 2)
measure of an angle
That is the sum of the interior angles of any convex polygon, regular or not.
i just dont know how to give the answer as for each itemized : a, b, c, d, e
to find sum it is just (n-2)*180
b. What is the measure of each angle? [180*(n-2) ]/n for one interior angle of a regular polygon
@LilySwan c. What is the sum of the measures of its exterior angles, one at each vertex? You should know this from your theorems. What is it.
ok for a the answer will be
C, the answer for c
iam confused
can you please start explaining from the option A
The answer to part A is a theorem.
ok
can you please indicate towards it
i got this wrong to
To find sum it is just (n-2)*180 This is from @SerikMB above in the thread.
That is where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
That, you just learn - memorize.
