1. Use the triangle interior angles sum to complete the following table.

    PolygonNumber of SidesNumber of TrianglesSketchInterior Angles Sum
    triangle 3 1 180°
    quadrilateral 4 2 2 × 180° = 360°
    pentagon        
    hexagon        
    heptagon        
    decagon        
  2. Look for a pattern in your table. Use this pattern to determine the interior angles sum for

    1. a hectagon (a 100-sided polygon)


    2. a myriagon (a 10 000-sided polygon)



  3. Determine an expression that will allow you to find the interior angles sum of
    an n-sided polygon.
