Question:  What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n­gon? Recall: an n­gon is a polygon with n sides and n vertices

Exploration:  Find sums of interior angle measures.Step 1:  Draw convex polygons with three sides, four sides, five sides and six sides.  

Step 2:  In each polygon, draw all the diagonals from one vertex.  A diagonal is a segment that joins two nonconsecutive vertices.  Notice that the diagonals divide the polygon into triangles.

Step 3:  Complete the table below.  

Polygon Number of Sides

Number of Triangles

Sum of measures of interior angles

Triangle 3 1

Quadrilateral

Draw Conclusions:  Use your observations to complete these exercises.

1. Look for a pattern in the last column of the table.  What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex heptagon? a convex octagon?

  

2. Do the side lengths affect the sum of the interior angle measures of a hexagon?  Explain.

2.     The trampoline shown is shaped like a regular dodecagon (12 sides).  Find  (a) the measure of each interior angle and (b) the measure of each exterior angle.

3.     An interior angle and an adjacent exterior angle of a polygon form a linear pair.  How can you use this fact as another method to find the exterior angle measure of the trampoline?
