Int and Ex of Polygons

The document discusses interior and exterior angles of regular polygons, providing the formulas to calculate the measures of each. It shows that the sum of the exterior angles of any regular polygon is 360 degrees, and the exterior angle is found by dividing 360 by the number of sides. Interior angles are calculated as 180 degrees minus the exterior angle measure.
