Chapter 8 Review for Test

Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of each convex polygon. 
S = (n-2)180 --> n stands for the number of sides; S stands for sum
1.decagon   
2. 16-gon   
3. 30-gon

The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is given. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
If an interior angle measure is 150, the exterior angle angle is 30 degrees. 360/30 = 12; dodecagon
or 150n = (n-2)180
7. 150   
8. 160   
9. 175

Find the measure of each exterior angle for each regular polygon.
360/number of sides
4. 12-gon 
5. hexagon   
6. 20-gon
