Parts of a Polygon
Four important terms related to a polygon:
Interior angle
Side
Vertex
Diagonal
Convex and Concave
Polygons
Polygons can be also be classified as either convex or concave.
Consider the following examples:
Sum of the Measures of Interior
Angles of Polygons
Example
2: Find the sum of the measures of interior angles
of an octagon.
Solution:
Sum of the measures of interior angles of a polygon
= (n – 2) 180
