Year 7 Angles in Polygons Worksheet — Level 1 — Practice Set 3 — 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 20-sided polygon.
Answer: 3,240°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (20 − 2) × 180° = 3,240°
2.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular hexagon.
Answer: 120°
- Angle sum = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
- 720° ÷ 6 = 120°
3.Find the sum of the interior angles of a dodecagon.
Answer: 1,800°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (12 − 2) × 180° = 1,800°
4.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular octagon.
Answer: 135°
- Angle sum = (8 − 2) × 180° = 1,080°
- 1,080° ÷ 8 = 135°
5.Find the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
Answer: 360°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (4 − 2) × 180° = 360°
6.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular quadrilateral.
Answer: 90°
- Angle sum = (4 − 2) × 180° = 360°
- 360° ÷ 4 = 90°
7.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°
8.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular 36-sided polygon.
Answer: 170°
- Angle sum = (36 − 2) × 180° = 6,120°
- 6,120° ÷ 36 = 170°
9.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°
10.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°
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:
