Understanding Polygons:
A polygon is a closed shape with straight
sides. Examples include triangles,
quadrilaterals, pentagons, and so on. Each
polygon has its unique set of angles.

Exterior Angles of a Polygon: An exterior


angle is formed when a side of a polygon is
extended outward. The sum of all exterior
angles in any polygon is always 360 degrees.
Remember, exterior angles are crucial in
Adjacent Interior Angles: These are angles inside
the polygon that share a common side. The sum of
adjacent interior angles in a polygon is always 180
degrees. This concept helps us analyze the
relationships between angles within a
polygon.
Think back to our previous lessons on angles and
geometry. How can we apply our knowledge of
angles within triangles and quadrilaterals to
understand the angles in more complex polygons?
Connecting these concepts will strengthen your
understanding of polygons

An exterior angle is formed when a side of
a polygon is extended outward. On the
other hand, an interior angle is the angle
formed inside the polygon between two
adjacent sides. The exterior angle and the
adjacent interior angle (the interior angle
next to the exterior angle) are
supplementary angles.
This means that when you add the
measure of an exterior angle to the
For example, if the exterior angle of a polygon
measures 100 degrees, then the adjacent interior
angle will measure 80 degrees because 100 + 80 =
180 degrees, making them supplementary angles.
Think about a door swinging open - the angle
formed on the inside (interior angle) and the angle
formed on the outside (exterior angle). This real-life
example can help you remember the relationship
between exterior and interior angles. Remember,
exterior angles and adjacent interior angles are
supplementary, meaning they add up to 180
degrees. This is also known as the Exterior Angle
Worked Example

3. m∠3 =
Match each angle with its corresponding measure,
given m∠1 = 130° and m∠7 = 70°. Indicate a
match by writing the letter for the angle on the line
in front of the corresponding angle measure.
