3-5 THE POLYGON ANGLE-SUM THEOREMSSWBAT: • Classify polygons• Find the sums of the measures of the interior
and exterior angles of polygons
• Polygon: closed plane figure with at least 3 sides that are segments; the sides intersect only at their endpoints, and no adjacent sides are collinear
To name a polygon, start with any vertex and list the vertices consecutively in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
What are the different ways you can name this polygon?ABCDEEABCDDCBAEBCDEA and many more…
• Polygons are classified as convex or concave.• A convex polygon has no diagonal with points outside the
polygon.
• A concave polygon has at least one diagonal with points outside the polygon.
Example 3: The sum of the measures of the angles of a given polygon is 720. How can you find the number of sides in the polygon?
Think about this one…Pentagon ABCDE has 5 congruent angles. Find the measure of each angle.
• This is the Sum of All Angles!• How many angles are there in
total?• How would we find one?
You can draw exterior angles at any vertex of a polygon. The figures below show that the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, is 360.
