Question 472301: Question 46 in my book. A polygon has n sides. An interior angle of the polygon and an adjacent exterior angle for a straight angle.
a. What is the sum of the measures of the n straight angles?
b. What is the sum of the measures of the n interior angles?
c. Using your answers abouve, what is the sum of the measures of the n exterior angles?
d. What theorem do the steps above lead to?
I have a feeling you use the Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem: The sum of the measures of the angles of an n-gon is (n-2)180 but I don't know where to use it and also the Polygon Exterior Angle-Sum Theorem: The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon, one at each vertext, is 360.
Thank you very much! It's much appreciated :-)
