Find the Interior Angles Sum of a Polygon
A. Find the sum of the measures of the interior
angles of a convex nonagon.
A nonagon has nine sides. Use the Polygon Interior
Angles Sum Theorem to find the sum of its interior
angle measures.
(n – 2) ● 180 = (9 – 2) ● 180
= 7 ● 180 or 1260
n=9
Simplify.
Answer: The sum of the measures is 1260.

Step 2 Use the value of x to find the measure of
each angle.
m  R = 5x
= 5(11) or 55
m  S = 11x + 4
= 11(11) + 4 or 125
m  T = 5x
= 5(11) or 55
m  U = 11x + 4
= 11(11) + 4 or 125
Answer: mR = 55, mS = 125, mT = 55,
mU = 125

Interior Angle Measure of Regular
Polygon
ARCHITECTURE A mall is designed so that five
walkways meet at a food court that is in the shape
of a regular pentagon. Find the measure of one of
the interior angles of the pentagon.
Interior Angle Measure of Regular
Polygon
Understand
Look at the diagram of the situation.
The measure of the angle of a corner in
between two walkways is the interior
angle of a regular pentagon.
Plan
Use the Polygon Interior Angles Sum
Theorem to find the sum of the
measures of the angles. Since the
angles of a regular polygon are
congruent, divide this sum by the
number of angles to find the measure
of each interior angle.

Answer: The measure of one of the interior angles of
the food court is 108.
Check
To verify that this measure is correct,
use a ruler and a protractor to draw a
regular pentagon using 108 as the
measure of each interior angle. The
last side drawn should connect with the
beginning point of the first segment
drawn.
A pottery mold makes bowls that are in the shape
of a regular heptagon. Find the measure of one of
the interior angles of the bowl.

Find Number of Sides Given Interior Angle
Measure
The measure of an interior angle of a regular
polygon is 150. Find the number of sides in the
polygon.
Use the Interior Angle Sum Theorem to write an
equation to solve for n, the number of sides.
S = 180(n – 2)
(150)n = 180(n – 2)
150n = 180n – 360
0 = 30n – 360
Interior Angle Sum
Theorem
S = 150n
Distributive Property
Subtract 150n from each
side.

Add 360 to each side.
Divide each side by 30.
Answer: The polygon has 12 sides.

Find Exterior Angle Measures of a Polygon
A. Find the value of x in the diagram.
Find Exterior Angle Measures of a Polygon
Use the Polygon Exterior Angles Sum Theorem to
write an equation. Then solve for x.
5x + (4x – 6) + (5x – 5) + (4x + 3) + (6x – 12) + (2x + 3) +
(5x + 5) = 360
(5x + 4x + 5x + 4x + 6x + 2x + 5x) + [(–6) + (–5) + 3 +
(–12) + 3 + 5] = 360
31x – 12 = 360
31x = 372
x = 12
Answer:
x = 12
Find Exterior Angle Measures of a Polygon
B. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a
regular decagon.
A regular decagon has 10 congruent sides and
10 congruent angles. The exterior angles are also
congruent, since angles supplementary to congruent
angles are congruent. Let n = the measure of each
exterior angle and write and solve an equation.
10n = 360
Polygon Exterior Angle
Sum Theorem
