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

OpenStudy (welshfella):

A is easy to work out You have each angle = 90 degrees and there are 4 sides so its 4 * 90

OpenStudy (welshfella):

To get B solve the equation 5 * B = 540

OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you solve that?

OpenStudy (campayne):

180?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

5B = 540 divide both sides by 5 B = 540/5 = ?

OpenStudy (campayne):

108!!!!!!! right??

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (campayne):

ohhh thank you JAYSUS and you

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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.

OpenStudy (campayne):

indeed i think i do

OpenStudy (welshfella):

180, 360 , 540 what's next?

OpenStudy (campayne):

720

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes Now finally to get C which is the value of each angle solve 6C = 720

OpenStudy (campayne):

seems 120

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- there are 56 sides to this polygon so there are 6 angles

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes 720/6 = 120

OpenStudy (campayne):

yay

OpenStudy (welshfella):

LOL - i meant 6 sides

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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
