Year 7 Angles in Polygons Worksheet — Level 1 — Practice Set 4 — Answers
Interior angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°. The exterior angles of any convex polygon add to 360°.
1.Find the sum of the interior angles of a heptagon.
Answer: 900°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (7 − 2) × 180° = 900°
2.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular quadrilateral.
Answer: 90°
- Angle sum = (4 − 2) × 180° = 360°
- 360° ÷ 4 = 90°
3.Find the sum of the interior angles of an octagon.
Answer: 1,080°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (8 − 2) × 180° = 1,080°
4.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 18-sided polygon.
Answer: 160°
- Angle sum = (18 − 2) × 180° = 2,880°
- 2,880° ÷ 18 = 160°
5.Find the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.
Answer: 540°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (5 − 2) × 180° = 540°
6.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular hexagon.
Answer: 120°
- Angle sum = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
- 720° ÷ 6 = 120°
7.Find the sum of the interior angles of a decagon.
Answer: 1,440°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (10 − 2) × 180° = 1,440°
8.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular dodecagon.
Answer: 150°
- Angle sum = (12 − 2) × 180° = 1,800°
- 1,800° ÷ 12 = 150°
9.Find the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon.
Answer: 1,260°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (9 − 2) × 180° = 1,260°
10.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular triangle.
Answer: 60°
- Angle sum = (3 − 2) × 180° = 180°
- 180° ÷ 3 = 60°
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
