How do you calculate the sum of the interior angles of a polygon?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is given by the formula: (n - 2) × 180°.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a 24-gon?

Back

3960°.

Front

What is an exterior angle of a polygon?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of the polygon and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How do you calculate the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon?

Back

Each exterior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula: 360° / n, where n is the number of sides.
