Exploring Interior and Exterior Angles of Polygons

The video tutorial covers the basics of polygons, including their definition, types, and properties. It explains the concept of interior and exterior angles, focusing on how to calculate the sum of interior angles for any polygon using a specific formula. The tutorial also delves into regular polygons, highlighting their unique properties of congruent sides and angles. Additionally, it provides a brief overview of common polygon names and offers practice problems to reinforce the learning objectives.
