Lesson 1
POLYGON
Definition
The word polygon was derived from two Greek word ‘polus’ meaning
‘many’ and ‘gonia’ meaning ‘angle’. Combinig these terms, polygon literally
means many angles.
A polygon is a flat figure that is made up of straight lines and is enclosed.
*A few notes on the definition of a polygon that hopefully will help you
remember:
flat – this means it’s a plane figure or two-dimensional
straight lines – these are called segments in geometry
enclosed – all the lines fit end-to-end and form a figure with no openings
The easiest way to identify a polygon is to look for a closed figure with no
curved sides.

Definition:
A regular polygon is defined as a flat shape whose sides are equal in length
and whose angles are all equal. A polygon whose sides and angles that are not
of equal measures is called irregular.

Definition:
A concave polygon has at least one diagonal with points outside the
polygon. A polygon is concave if and only if at least one of its internal angles is
greater than 180o.
A convex polygon is defined as a polygon with all its interior angles less than
180o. All the diagonals of a convex polygon lie entirely inside the polygon.
NOTE: A diagonal of a polygon is a segment that connects two non-consecutive
vertices. The number of diagonals in a convex polygon with n sides is given using
𝑛(𝑛−3)
formula: diagonals = .

The side of a polygon is one of the segments that defines the polygon. The
number of sides is the same as the number of vertices and the number of angles
formed. So a triangle has 3 vertices and also 3 angles.

Lesson 3
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ANGLES OF A
POLYGON
Basic Concepts
Everything you need to know about a polygon doesn’t fall with its sides.
Exterior and interior angles are parts of all polygons. You may need to find exterior
angles as well as interior angles when working with polygons.
Guide Question:
1. Is XUY an exterior angle of quadrilateral QUAD? Why? Why not?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
14
The exterior angle of a polygon and its corresponding interior angle
always add up to 180O. This is due to the fact that the two corresponding angles
create a straight line.
The measure of an exterior angles at a vertex of any polygon is the
difference of 180O and the measure of an interior angle at the same vertex.
Remember:
To solve for x:
x = 180O – (51O + 42O)
= 180O – 93O
= 87O
15
2. Solve for x.
To solve for x, apply the
exterior angle theorem:
x = 64O + 45O
= 109O
3. Find m 1, m 2, m 3 and m 4.
= 180O – 145O
m 2 = 180O – 123O = 35O
= 57O
m 4 = 180O – m 3
= 180O – 35O
= 145O
4. Solve for x
To solve for x, apply the exterior angle theorem:
25 + x + 15 = 3x – 10
40 + x = 3x – 10
40 + 10 = 3x – x (combine like terms)
50 = 2x (simplify)
25 = x (divide both sides by 2)

2. What is the measure of the smallest interior angle?
4. Find m V.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is
(n – 2)180o.
(𝑛−2)180𝑜
The measure of each interior angle of an equiangular n-gon is
𝑛
If you count one exterior angle at each vertex, the sum of the measures of
the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°.
360𝑜
The measure of each exterior angle of an equiangular n-gon is
𝑛
The sum of the measure of the exterior angles of a polygon is
always 360O.
Illustrative Examples:
Solution:
(𝑛−2)180𝑜
Measure of one interior angle =
𝑛
(12−2)(180𝑜 )
=
12
(10)(180𝑜 )
=

2. True or False. The measure of each interior angle of a decagon is 141O.
18
Solution:
(𝑛−2)180𝑜
Measure of one interior angle =
𝑛
(10−2)(180𝑜 )
=
10
(8)(180𝑜 )
=
10
1440𝑜
=
10
= 144O
Hence, it is false since the measure of each interior angle is 144O and not
141O.
Solution:
= (13 - 2)(180O)
= (11)(180O)
= 1980O
4. If Catriona ask you about the sum of the interior angles of pentadecagon.
Solution:
= (15 - 2)(180O)
= (13)(180O)
= 2340O
5. Consider the figure below.
Find xo. Solution:

The sum of the measure of the interior angles
of a quadrilateral is equal to 360O. Thus,

Solution:
m C = 2xO m D = (x - 15)O

Lesson 4
PROBLEMS INVOLVING SIDES AND ANGLES OF A
POLYGON
21
Solving problems involving the sides and angles of a polygon can be done
easily if we are familiar with the concepts and formulas to be used. Exterior Angle
Theorem may also apply in solving problems involving triangle. Knowledge on
supplementary angle and evaluating algebraic expression could be also big
help.
2. The exterior angle given of a triangle is 110 degrees. Two remote interior
angles measure 50 and (2x + 30). Find x.
Solution:
3. If the sum of the measure of the interior angle of polygon is 3240, find the
number of sides of the polygon.
Solution:
22
3240O = (n – 2) (180O)
3240𝑜 (𝑛−2)(180𝑜 )
=
180𝑜 180𝑜
18 = n – 2
18 + 2 = n
20 = n
Solution:
First, get the sum of the interior angles of the quadrilateral.
8x + 136O = 360O
8x = 360O – 136O
8x = 224O
8𝑥 224𝑜
= x = 28O
8 8
Substitute the value of x with each unknown angle.
So the interior angles of the given quadrilateral are 89O, 132O, 51O and 88O.
5. Find the measure of the unknown angle given the name of polygon and the
measure of the rest.
Solution:
23
For hexagon, the sum of the interior angles is 720O.
=100O
6. The measure of the angles of a polygon having four sides are represented as
xO, xO, 5xO, and (4x – 3)O. Find the value of x.
Solution:
x + x + 5x+ 4x – 3 = 360
x = 33
7. Each exterior angle of a regular polygon measures 10O. Find the sum of the
interiors, each interior angle, and the number of sides.
Solution:
To determine the number of sides, use the formula in getting the measure
of each exterior angle. Thus,
360𝑜
Measure of each exterior angle =
𝑛
360𝑜
10O =
𝑛
10On = 360O
10𝑜 𝑛 3600
= n = 36
100 100
= (36 – 2) 180O
= (34) 180O
24
= 6120O
(𝑛−2)180𝑜
Measure of each interior angle =
𝑛
(36−2)180𝑜
=
36
(34)180𝑜
=
36
6120𝑜
=
36
= 170O
8. Each interior angle of a regular polygon measures 135O. Find the sum of the
interior angles, each exterior angle and the number of sides.
Solution:
Since we do not know yet the sides, we may use the relationship between
interior and exterior angle. The two angles are supplementary or linear pair which
means the sum of the measures equals 180O. Hence,
= 45O
360𝑜
Measure of each exterior angle =
𝑛
360𝑜
45O =
𝑛
45On = 360O
45𝑜 𝑛 360𝑜
= n=8
45𝑜 45𝑜
= (6) 180O
25
= (4) 180O
= 1080O
a. smallest angle
b. largest angle
Solution:
We have learned from our previous lesson that the sum of the interior
angles of pentagon is 540O. Use this fact to solve first for x. Thus,
130 – 40 + 6x = 540O
90 + 6x = 540O
6x = 540O – 90O
6x = 450O
x = 75O
m E = xO m M = (x + 10)O
= 85O
26
m N = (2x – 5)O m K = (2x – 35)O
= 145O = 15O
Therefore, the measure of the smallest angle which is K is 15O and the
measure of the largest angle which is G is 120O.
2. The sum of all interior angles of a polygon is 3060°. How many sides does the
polygon have?
3. The sum of the measures of four angles of a heptagon is 700O. Two of the
remaining angles are congruent. The other angle is twice the measure of one of
the two congruent angles, find the measure of the three remaining angles.
4. Three of the exterior angles of a hexagon have a sum of 240O. The remaining
exterior angles are congruent to each other. Determine the measure of the
remaining angles.
27
5. Find the measure of each interior angle, each exterior angle, and the sum of
the interior angles of a regular dodecagon.
6. The sum of the measures of a regular polygon s 4140O. Find each exterior angle,
each interior angle, and the number of sides.
