Year 8 Angles in Polygons Worksheet — Level 2 — 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 11-sided polygon.
Answer: 1,620°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (11 − 2) × 180° = 1,620°
2.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 24-sided polygon.
Answer: 165°
- Angle sum = (24 − 2) × 180° = 3,960°
- 3,960° ÷ 24 = 165°
3.Find the size of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon.
Answer: 40°
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360° ÷ 9 = 40°
4.Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 24°. How many sides does it have?
Answer: 15
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360 ÷ 24 = 15 sides
5.Find the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon.
Answer: 720°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
6.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 15-sided polygon.
Answer: 156°
- Angle sum = (15 − 2) × 180° = 2,340°
- 2,340° ÷ 15 = 156°
7.Find the size of each exterior angle of a regular 18-sided polygon.
Answer: 20°
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360° ÷ 18 = 20°
8.Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 12°. How many sides does it have?
Answer: 30
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360 ÷ 12 = 30 sides
9.Find the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
Answer: 360°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (4 − 2) × 180° = 360°
10.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 30-sided polygon.
Answer: 168°
- Angle sum = (30 − 2) × 180° = 5,040°
- 5,040° ÷ 30 = 168°
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:
