Solution Summary

This shows how to find the sum of interior angles of various polygons. The interior angles of pentagons are examined.

Solution Preview

In general the sum of the interior angle of a closed shape with m sides (a "m-gon") is equal to 180*(m-2). Because by drawing lines from a corner to all the non-adjacent corners we can draw exactly (m-2) triangles inside the "m-gon", such that the total sum of the sum of interior angles of all triangles will ...

  • Proofs by Induction

    Since we know that a triangle has interior angles adding up to 180°, a polygon with k + 1 sides will have interior angles summing to the sum of the angles for the k-sided polygon + 180.

  • Using triangles to find the length of the side marked x.

    The triangles share a corner angle and both have right angles. Therefore the third angles are also congruent by the sum of interior angles. We find the scale factor by setting a ratio of corresponding sides 4/5.
