SIMPLE POLYGONS
INTERIOR ANGLES

∑ interior angles = (n-2) * 180°


∑ exterior angles = (n+2) * 180°
Where n = number of sides
EXAMPLE

1. What is the sum of


the interior angles
∑ interior angles = (n-2) * 180° for this polygon?

∑ exterior angles = (n+2) * 180° 2. What is the sum of


Where n = number of sides
the exterior angles
for this polygon?

TRIANGLES
A polygon with 3 sides, the triangle, is central
to many surveying computations

 Isosceles (2 angles equal; 2 sides equal)


 Equilateral (3 angles equal; 3 sides equal)
 Right triangle (1 angle is 90o)
