Angles around a point will always add up to 360 degrees.
The angles above all add to 360°
53° + 80° + 140° + 87° = 360°
Because of this, we can find an unknown angle.
Example: What is angle "c"? To find angle c we take the sum of the known angles and take that from 360° Sum of known angles = 110° + 75° + 50° + 63° Angle c = 360° − 298° |
Angles On One Side of A Straight Line
Angles on one side of a straight line will always add to 180 degrees.
If a line is split into 2 and you know one angle you can always find the other one.
30° + 150° = 180°
Example: If we know one angle is 45° what is angle "a" ?
Angle a is 180° − 45° = 135° |
This method can be used for several angles on one side of a straight line.
Example: What is angle "b" ?
Angle b is 180° less the sum of the other angles. Sum of known angles = 45° + 39° + 24° Angle b = 180° − 108° |
Interior Angle
An Interior Angle is an angle inside a shape.
Exterior Angle
The Exterior Angle is the angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next side.
Interior Angles of Polygons
An Interior Angle is an angle inside a shape.
Triangles
The Interior Angles of a Triangle add up to 180°
90° + 60° + 30° = 180° |
80° + 70° + 30° = 180° |
It works for this triangle! |
Let's tilt a line by 10° ... It still works, because one angle went up by 10°, but the other went down by 10° |
Quadrilaterals (Squares, etc)
(A Quadrilateral has 4 straight sides)
90° + 90° + 90° + 90° = 360° |
80° + 100° + 90° + 90° = 360° |
A Square adds up to 360° |
Let's tilt a line by 10° ... still adds up to 360°! |
The Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral add up to 360° |
Because there are Two Triangles in a Square
The interior angles in this triangle add up to 180° |
... and for this square they add up to 360° ... because the square can be made from two triangles! |
Pentagon
|
A pentagon has 5 sides, and can be made from three triangles, so you know what ... ... its interior angles add up to 3 × 180° = 540° And if it is a regular pentagon (all angles the same), then each angle is 540° / 5 = 108° (Exercise: make sure each triangle here adds up to 180°, and check that the pentagon's interior angles add up to 540°) |
|
|
The Interior Angles of a Pentagon add up to 540° |
The General Rule
Each time we add a side (triangle to quadrilateral, quadrilateral to pentagon, etc), we add another 180° to the total:
|
|
|
If it is a Regular Polygon (all sides are equal, all angles are equal) |

n |
(n-2) × 180° |
(n-2) × 180° / n |
So the general rule is:
Sum of Interior Angles = (n-2) × 180°
Each Angle (of a Regular Polygon) = (n-2) × 180° / n
Perhaps an example will help:
Example: What about a Regular Decagon (10 sides) ?
And it is a Regular Decagon so: Each interior angle = 1440°/10 = 144° |
Exterior Angles of Polygons
The Exterior Angle is the angle between any side of a shape,
and a line extended from the next side.
Note: when you add up the Interior Angle and Exterior Angle you get a straight line, 180°.
Polygons
A Polygon is any flat shape with straight sides
The Exterior Angles of a Polygon add up to 360° |
||
|
In other words the exterior angles add up to one full revolution (Exercise: try this with a square, then with some interesting polygon you invent yourself.)
