How would you complete the table? A = 180º; B = 270º; C = 360º; D = 720º A = 360º; B = 108º; C = 120º; D = 720º A = 120º; B = 360º; C = 180º; D = 1080º A = 210º; B = 180º; C = 270º; D = 720º
A is easy to work out You have each angle = 90 degrees and there are 4 sides so its 4 * 90
To get B solve the equation 5 * B = 540
can you solve that?
180?
5B = 540 divide both sides by 5 B = 540/5 = ?
108!!!!!!! right??
yes
ohhh thank you JAYSUS and you
Now notice:- as you increase the number of sides the sum of the angles increases by 180 So you should now see what D is.
indeed i think i do
180, 360 , 540 what's next?
720
yes Now finally to get C which is the value of each angle solve 6C = 720
seems 120
- there are 56 sides to this polygon so there are 6 angles
yes 720/6 = 120
yay
LOL - i meant 6 sides
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (x n - 2)180. (Subtract 2 from the number of sides, and multiply by 180.) A 3 sided polygon is a triangle: (n - 2)180 = (3 - 2)180 = 1(180 ) = 180 A 4 sided polygon is a quadrilateral: (n - 2)180 = (4 - 2)(180 = 2(180) = 360 5 sides: (n - 2)180 = (5 - 2)180 = (3)180) = 540 6 sides: (n - 2)180 = (6 - 2)180 = 4(180) = 720 A polygon has the same number of sides and angles. Since all the polygons you are dealing with are regular polygons, all their interior angles are congruent, so the measure of each interior angle is the sum of the measures of all the interior angles divided by the number of angles (which is the same as the number of sides. Example: What is the measure of each interior angle of an 8-sided regular polygon? Sum of the measures of the interior angles = =(n - 2)180 = (8 - 2)(180) = 6*180 = 1080 Each angle: 1080/8 = 135
