KSSM Mathematics Form 2 Chapter 4 Polygons

This document discusses properties of regular and irregular polygons, including: - Regular polygons have equal sides and interior angles, while irregular polygons have irregular sides. - The interior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated as (n-2)×180/n degrees, where n is the number of sides. - The total sum of interior angles of any polygon is (n-2)×180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. - The total sum of exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees. The document provides examples of calculating interior and exterior angles of various polygons.

CHAPTER 4 POLYGONS

4.1 Regular Polygons

Regular polygons are polygons for which all sides are equal and all interior angles are of the same size.
Regular polygons have congruent interior angles. Irregular polygons are polygons with irregular sides.
