2.4 PolygonsA polygon is a shape with three or more straight sides.

Some polygons have special names.

A 3-sided polygon is called a triangle.A 4-sided polygon is called a quadrilateral.A 5-sided polygon is called a pentagon.A 6-sided polygon is called a hexagon.An 8-sided polygon is called an octagon.A 10-sided polygon is called a decagon.

To find the sum of the angles of a polygon, split it into triangles.

For example, for this hexagon, draw as many diagonals as possible from one corner.

This splits the hexagon into four triangles.

The angle sum of a triangle is 180° and so the sum of the angles of a hexagon is 4 � 180° � 720°.

Sometimes, these angles are called interior angles to emphasise that they are inside the polygon.

2.4 Polygons CHAPTER 2

Using this method, the sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found.

The number of triangles into which the polygon can be split up is always two less than the number ofsides.

Find the sum of the angles of a 12-sided polygon (dodecagon).

Solution 812 � 2 � 10

10 � 180 � 1800

The sum of the angles � 1800°

A polygon with all its sides the same length and all its angles the same size is called a regularpolygon.

So a square is a regular polygon, because all its sides are the same length and all its angles are 90°,but a rhombus is not a regular polygon.

Although its sides are all the same length, its angles are not all the same size.

Here are three more regular polygons.

a regular pentagon a regular hexagon a regular octagon

Regular octagons tessellate withsquares.

Bees’ honeycomb is made upof regular hexagons.

The diagram shows a regular 9-sided polygon (nonagon) with centre O.

a Work out the size ofi angle x ii angle y.

b Use your answer to part a ii to work out the size of each interior angle of the polygon.

Solution 10a i x � 360° � 9

x � 40°

(40° is the angle at the centre of a regular 9-sided polygon.)

ii 180° � 40° � 140°

140° � 2 � 70°

y � 70°

b 2 � 70° � 140°

Each interior angle is 140°.

Exercise 2D

In this exercise, the polygons are not accurately drawn.

1 Find the sum of the angles of a 15-sided polygon.

2 Find the sum of the angles of a 20-sided polygon.

3 A polygon can be split into 17 triangles by drawing diagonals from one corner.How many sides has the polygon?

Example 10

State the size of each interior angle.

All 10 interior angles are the same size. So divide 1440 by 10

Multiply the number of triangles by 180 to find the sum of all 10 interior angles.

Subtract 2 from the number of sides to find the number of triangles.

Example 9

Each corner of the polygon could be joined to the centre O to make 9equal angles at O. The total of all 9 angles is 360°, as altogether theymake a complete turn.

The angle sum of a triangle is 180° and so the sum of the two base angles is 140°.

The triangle is isosceles and so the two base angles are equal.

Because the polygon is regular, it has nine lines of symmetry and each interiorangle is twice the size of each base angle of the triangle.

Extend a side to make an exterior angle, which is outside the polygon.

At each vertex (corner), the interior angle and the exterior

angle are on a straight line and so their sum is 180°.

2.5 Exterior angles CHAPTER 2

To show this, imagine someone standing at P on thisquadrilateral, facing in the direction of the arrow.

They turn through angle a, so that they are facing in thedirection PQ, and then walk to Q.

At Q, they turn through angle b, so that they are facing inthe direction QR, and then walk to R.

At R, they turn through angle c, so that they are facing in the direction RS, and then walk to S.

At S, they turn through angle d.

They are now facing in the direction of the arrow again and so they have turned through 360°.

The total angle they have turned through is also the sum of the exterior angles of the quadrilateral.

So a � b � c � d � 360°

The same argument can be used with any polygon, not just a quadrilateral.

The sizes of four of the exterior angles of a pentagon are 67°, 114°, 58° and 73°.Work out the size of the other exterior angle.

Solution 11

67° � 114° � 58° � 73° � 312°

360° � 312° � 48°

Exterior angle � 48°

For a regular 18-sided polygon, work out

a the size of each exterior angle,

b the size of each interior angle.

Solution 12a 360° � 18 � 20°

b 180° � 20° � 160°

The size of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 150°. Work out


b the number of sides the polygon has.

Solution 13a 180° � 150° � 30°

b 360 � 30 � 12

At a corner, the sum of the interior angle and the exterior angle is 180°. So subtract 150° from 180°.

Because the polygon is regular, all the exterior angles are 30°.Their sum is 360° and so divide 360 by 30

2.7 Proofs CHAPTER 2

18 19 20

2.7 ProofsIn mathematics, a proof is a reasoned argument to show that a statement is always true. The proofswhich follow make use of corresponding and alternate angles.

Proof 1An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior angles at the other two vertices

The diagram shows a triangle PQR.

Extend the side PQ to S.

At Q draw a line QT parallel to PR.

Then angle x � angle a (corresponding angles)

and angle y � angle b (alternate angles)

Adding, x � y � a � b

x � y is the exterior angle of the triangle and a � b is the sum of the interior angles at the other two vertices and so the statement is true.

Proof 2The angle sum of a triangle is 180°

This proof starts in the same way as Proof 1.

The diagram shows a triangle PQR.

Extend the side PQ to S.

At Q draw a line QT parallel to PR.

Then angle x � angle a (corresponding angles)

and angle y � angle b (alternate angles)

Adding, x � y � a � b

As x, y and c are angles on a straight line, their angle sum is 180°, that is

x � y � c � 180°

So a � b � c � 180° which proves that the statement is true.

Proof 3The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

Draw a diagonal of the parallelogram.

angle a � angle c (alternate angles)

angle b � angle d (alternate angles)

Adding, a � b � c � d which proves that the statement is true.

The bearing of B from A is 061°.

Work out the bearing of A from B.

Solution 22The bearing of A from B is the reflex angle at B.

y � 61° (alternate angles)

Bearing � 180° � 61°

� 241°

Chapter summary

You should know and be able to use these facts


An equilateral triangle has three equal angles and three equal sides.

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.

A triangle whose sides are all different lengths is called a scalene triangle.

A quadrilateral is a shape with four straight sides and four angles.

The angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360°.

A polygon is a shape with three or more straight sides.

A 5-sided polygon is called a pentagon.

A 6-sided polygon is called a hexagon.

An 8-sided polygon is called an octagon.

A 10-sided polygon is called a decagon.

The angle sum of a polygon can be found by subtracting 2 from the number of sides and multiplying the result by 180°.

A polygon with all its sides the same length and all its angles the same size is called a regular polygon.

At a vertex, interior angle � exterior angle � 180°.

The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360°.To find the size of each exterior angle of a regular polygon, divide 360° by the number of sides.

Where a straight line crosses two parallel lines,the corresponding angles are equal.

Where a straight line crosses two parallel lines,the alternate angles are equal.

Bearings are measured clockwise � from North.

You should also know these proofs

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior angles at the other two vertices.
