Understanding Polygons and Their Properties

The video tutorial covers the definition and properties of polygons, focusing on the sum of interior and exterior angles. It explains how to derive the formula for calculating the sum of interior angles and discusses regular polygons, where all sides and angles are congruent. The tutorial also explores the sum of exterior angles, demonstrating that it is always 360 degrees, regardless of the number of sides. The video includes examples and encourages viewers to practice calculating angles in various polygons.

What is a polygon?

• A figure with two sides

• A closed figure formed by three or more line segments

• A figure with only right angles

• A figure with curved lines

How can you find the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?

• Add the number of sides and multiply by 180

• Divide the number of sides by 2 and multiply by 180

• Subtract 2 from the number of sides and multiply by 180

• Multiply the number of sides by 90

What is a regular polygon?

• A polygon with only right angles

• A polygon with curved sides

• A polygon with all sides and angles congruent

• A polygon with different side lengths

How do you calculate the measure of one interior angle in a regular pentagon?
