INTERIOR ANGLE AND FORMULA

Interior angles are simply angles on the inside boundary of a


given shape, and there are numerous formulas used to identify
them.
Work through example problems to determine the number of
sides, sum of angles, and individual angles.
POLYGONS
Polygons come in many shapes and sizes.
They may have only three sides or they may have many more
than that.
They can be concave or convex.
They may be regular or irregular.
Regardless, there is a formula for calculating the sum of all of its
interior angles.
An interior angle would most easily be defined as any angle
inside the boundary of a polygon.
It is formed when two sides of a polygon meet at a point.

THE FORMULA FOR THE SUM OF THE
INTERIOR ANGLES OF A POLYGON

The formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of a


polygon is the following:

S = (n - 2)*180
Here
n represents the number of sides
and
S represents the sum of all the interior angles of the polygon.

Example: S= (8-2) * 180 = 1080o


EXAMPLE 1: FINDING THE SUM
OF THE INTERIOR ANGLES

For example, suppose you have an octagon.


You can find the sum of the interior angles of that polygon. Since
an octagon has eight sides, then it will also have eight angles.
If you want to know the sum of the angles inside this figure, use
the value n=8 in the formula.
S = (8 - 2)*180; which gives you,
S = (6)*180
S = 1080 degrees

The sum of all of the interior angles of an octagon is 1080


degrees.
EACH ANGLE OF A REGULAR POLYGON
If a polygon is called a regular polygon, then this means that all of its
sides are similar and all of its interior angles are similar too. So, you can
find the measure of each angle.
Think back to the octagon used in the previous example. If the octagon
is regular, then you can divide the sum by the number of angles to find
the measure of each angle. Since there are 8 angles and each is the
same size, then each must be 1/8 of the total.
The formula for calculating the measure of each angle of a regular
polygon is S / n.
Remember that the sum is still 1080 degrees.
So, 1080 / 8 = 135 degrees
The measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees.
FINDING THE NUMBER OF SIDES

The formula for interior angles can also be used to


determine how many sides a polygon has if you
know the sum of the angles.
Suppose you have a polygon whose interior angles
sum to 540 degrees.
This will be the value of S in the formula, and n will
be the unknown this time. S=(n-2)*180
540 = (n - 2)*180 Divide both sides by 180.

3=n-2 Add 2 to both sides.

5=n

Since the value of n is 5, then the polygon is a


pentagon
