8th Grade Angles in Polygons Worksheet — Level 2 — Practice Set 2 — 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 pentagon.
Answer: 540°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (5 − 2) × 180° = 540°
2.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°
3.Find the size of each exterior angle of a regular quadrilateral.
Answer: 90°
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360° ÷ 4 = 90°
4.Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 30°. How many sides does it have?
Answer: 12
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides
5.Find the sum of the interior angles of a dodecagon.
Answer: 1,800°
- Angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°
- (12 − 2) × 180° = 1,800°
6.Find the size of each interior angle of a regular pentagon.
Answer: 108°
- Angle sum = (5 − 2) × 180° = 540°
- 540° ÷ 5 = 108°
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 24°. How many sides does it have?
Answer: 15
- Exterior angles add to 360°
- 360 ÷ 24 = 15 sides
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 nonagon.
Answer: 140°
- Angle sum = (9 − 2) × 180° = 1,260°
- 1,260° ÷ 9 = 140°
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:
