Polygon Basics

A polygon is a 2D shape with×n×straight sides.
Triangle (3 sides), quadrilateral (4), pentagon (5), hexagon (6), octagon (8), decagon (10).
In a regular polygon, all sides are equal and all angles are equal.

Interior and Exterior Angles

Interior angles are inside the polygon at each corner.
Exterior angle at a corner is the angle needed to make a straight line with the interior angle.
Interior + exterior = 180° at each vertex.

Interior and exterior angles of a polygon

Sum of Interior Angles

Sum of interior angles = 180° × (n – 2).
Triangle: 180°, quadrilateral: 360°, pentagon: 540°, hexagon: 720°, octagon: 1080°, decagon: 1440°.

Sum of Exterior Angles

Sum of exterior angles of any polygon = 360°.

Finding Angles in Regular Polygons

Interior angle = sum of interior angles ÷ n, or use formula 180(n–2)/n.
Exterior angle = 360°/n.
Alternatively, exterior angle = 180° – interior angle.

Finding Number of Sides

Given exterior angle×e×, number of sides ×n×= 360°/e.
Given interior angle×i×, solve i = 180(n–2)/n for n.

Angles in Parallel Lines

Corresponding angles (F-shape) are equal.
Alternate angles (Z-shape) are equal.
Co-interior angles (C-shape) sum to 180°.
Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Corresponding angles (F-shape)

Problem-Solving Tips

Always give reasons: 'corresponding angles are equal', 'alternate angles are equal', 'co-interior angles sum to 180°'.
Use correct names (F, Z, C shapes) in reasoning to get full marks.

Interior angle of regular octagon = 135°. Interior angle of square = 90°. Sum = 135° + 135° + 90° = 360°.

In a regular polygon, the ratio of exterior angle to interior angle is 2:13. Work out the exterior angle.

Let exterior = 2x, interior = 13x. Then 2x + 13x = 180° → 15x = 180° → x = 12°. Exterior = 24°.

For the polygon in the previous card, work out the number of sides.

Number of sides = 360° / exterior angle = 360° / 24° = 15.
