What is a polygon?
A polygon is a planar figure characterized by a limited number of straight-line segments joined to create a closed polygonal chain in geometry. A polygon is defined as a bounded planar region, a bounding circuit, or both.
2. Find the value of the supplementary angle of y for each polygon.
A.) For an isosceles triangle, using the base angle theorem we can write that the measure of the angle opposite to the congruent side will be equal. Therefore, the sum of the angles of the triangle can be written as,
y + y + 26° = 180°
2y = 154°
y = 77°
B.) The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is given as (n-2)180°, where n is the number of sides, also for a regular polygon the measure of each interior angle is equal. Since in a pentagon the number of sides is 5. Therefore, the measure of an interior angle can be written as,
y = [(n-2)180°]/n
y = [(5-2)180°]/5
y = 108°
3. The sum of the exterior angle of all the polygons is equal to 360°. Therefore, the sum of the exterior angles of the triangle and the pentagon will be the same, 360°
4. The formula to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, we can use the formula.
Sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon = (n-2)180°
Where n is the number of sides.
