Find the interior angle
Solved by pluggable solver: internal angle of polygon

Interior angle of a Regular Polygon

The interior angles of any Polygon always add up to a constant value, which depends only on the number of sides. For example the interior angles of a pentagon always add up to 540° no matter if it regular or irregular, convex or concave, or what size and shape it is. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula



where n is the number of sides

For a regular polygon, the total described above is spread evenly among all the interior angles, since they all have the same values.Hence all interior angles will be equal.

Therefore,




Conversion of angles from degrees to radian:
The relation between two units of angle measurement is :

2* rad = 360 degrees

The Interior angle in Radians,





Hence, The interior angle of a Polygon is 128.571428571429 degrees and 2.24399475 radians.

Multiply this by 7 to find the sum of the 7 angles
7(128.57)=899.99 degrees
or
7(2.24)=15.68 radians
