Problems on Angle Sum Property of a Polygon

We will learn how to solve the problems on angle sum property of a polygon having 'n' sides. We know, the sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180°.

1. Find the sum of all the interior angle of a polygon having 29 sides.

Solution:

We know that sum of all the interior angle in a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°

Here, n = 29 

Therefore, the sum of all interior angles = (29 – 2) × 180°

                                                     = 27 × 180°

                                                     = 4860°.


2. If the sum of the measure of the interior angle of polygon is 3240, find the number of sides of the polygon.

Solution:

Let the number of sides of the polygon be n.

The sum of the interior angles = (2n – 4) right angles

But given sum of the interior angles = 3240

Therefore, (2n – 4) × 90° = 3240

           ⇒       2n – 4 = 3240/90

           ⇒       2n – 4 = 36

           ⇒            2n = 36 + 4

           ⇒            2n = 40

           ⇒              n = 40/2

           ⇒              n = 20

Therefore, the number sides of the polygon is 20.


3. Find the sum of interior angles of a decagon.

Solution:

We know, a decagon have 10 sides.

Therefore, n = 10

Sum of interior angles = (2n - 4) × 90°

                              = (2 × 10 - 4) × 90°

                              = (20 - 4) × 90°

                              = 16 × 90°

                              = 1440°

Therefore, the sum of interior angles of a decagon is 1440°.


4. Sum of all interior angles of a polygon is 3060°. How many sides does the polygon have?

Solution:

We know that sum of all the interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°

According to the problem, we have

                 (n - 2) ×180 = 3060

               ⇒        (n - 2) = 3060/180         

               ⇒          n – 2 = 17            

               ⇒               n = 17 + 2            

               ⇒               n = 19

Therefore, the polygon have 19 sides.
