3.3: Angles of Polygons

What is a Polygon?

A polygon is a closed plane figure made up of three or more line segments that intersect only at their endpoints.

In a regular polygon all the sides are congruent, and all of the interior angles are congruent.

Interior angle measures of a polygon: The sum S of the interior angle measures of a polygon with n sides is

S (n 2) 1800

Concave and Convex Polygons

A polygon is convex when every line segment connecting any two vertices lies entirely inside the polygon.

A polygon is concave when at least one line segment connecting any two vertices lies outside the polygon.
