Polygon: a closed plane
figure with at least
three sides.

Name the polygon. Then identify its vertices, sides, and
angles.
Possible names are ABCDE and EDCBA.
Its vertices are A, B, C, D, and E.
Its sides are AB, BC, CD, DE, and EA.
Its angles are named by the vertices, A, B,
C, D, and E.

Convex: a polygon is
convex if no diagonal
contains points
outside the polygon.

Theorem 2-3: Polygon Interior
Angle-Sum Theorem
The sum of the
measures of the
interior angles of an
n-gon is (n - 2)180.
Find the sum of the measures of the angles of a decagon.
A decagon has 10 sides, so n = 10.
Sum = (n – 2)(180)
= (10 – 2)(180)
= 8 • 180
= 1440
Practice
• Find the sum of the measure of the interior angle
of the following polygons:
– 15-gon
– 20-gon
– Decagon
– Dodecagon

• Cool Video!!
Find m  X in quadrilateral XYZW.
The figure has 4 sides, so n = 4.
Theorem 2-4: Polygon Exterior
Angle-Sum Theorem
The sum of the
measures of the
exterior angles of a
polygon, one at each
vertex, is 360.

Definition
Equilateral polygon: a
polygon with all sides
congruent.
Equiangular polygon: a
polygon with all angles
congruent.
Regular polygon: a polygon
that is both equilateral and
equiangular.
