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 nonagon.
Answer: 1,260°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (9 − 2) × 180° = 1,260°
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 a hexagon.
Answer: 720°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
4.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular hexagon.
Answer: 120°
- Angle sum = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
- 720° ÷ 6 = 120°
5.Find the sum of the interior angles of a 14-sided polygon.
Answer: 2,160°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (14 − 2) × 180° = 2,160°
6.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular dodecagon.
Answer: 150°
- Angle sum = (12 − 2) × 180° = 1,800°
- 1,800° ÷ 12 = 150°
7.Find the sum of the interior angles of a heptagon.
Answer: 900°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (7 − 2) × 180° = 900°
8.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular triangle.
Answer: 60°
- Angle sum = (3 − 2) × 180° = 180°
- 180° ÷ 3 = 60°
9.Find the sum of the interior angles of a 20-sided polygon.
Answer: 3,240°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (20 − 2) × 180° = 3,240°
10.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 20-sided polygon.
Answer: 162°
- Angle sum = (20 − 2) × 180° = 3,240°
- 3,240° ÷ 20 = 162°
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:
