Math Problem Statement

Find the missing angles in each polygon.

Solution

To solve the missing angles in each polygon on the worksheet, we can use the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, which is:

Sum of interior angles=(n2)×180\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ

Where nn is the number of sides of the polygon.

I'll go through each shape one by one:

  1. Quadrilateral (4 sides):

    • Known angles: 85,110,8585^\circ, 110^\circ, 85^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: (42)×180=360(4 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=360(85+110+85)=80x = 360^\circ - (85^\circ + 110^\circ + 85^\circ) = 80^\circ
  2. Quadrilateral (4 sides):

    • Known angles: 90,97,9090^\circ, 97^\circ, 90^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: 360360^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=360(90+97+90)=83x = 360^\circ - (90^\circ + 97^\circ + 90^\circ) = 83^\circ
  3. Triangle (3 sides):

    • Known angles: 57,5757^\circ, 57^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: (32)×180=180(3 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 180^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=180(57+57)=66x = 180^\circ - (57^\circ + 57^\circ) = 66^\circ
  4. Hexagon (6 sides):

    • Known angles: 128,130,108,119,104128^\circ, 130^\circ, 108^\circ, 119^\circ, 104^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: (62)×180=720(6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=720(128+130+108+119+104)=131x = 720^\circ - (128^\circ + 130^\circ + 108^\circ + 119^\circ + 104^\circ) = 131^\circ
  5. Quadrilateral (4 sides):

    • Known angles: 123,120,93123^\circ, 120^\circ, 93^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: 360360^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=360(123+120+93)=24x = 360^\circ - (123^\circ + 120^\circ + 93^\circ) = 24^\circ
  6. Pentagon (5 sides):

    • Known angles: 118,115,127,102118^\circ, 115^\circ, 127^\circ, 102^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: (52)×180=540(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=540(118+115+127+102)=78x = 540^\circ - (118^\circ + 115^\circ + 127^\circ + 102^\circ) = 78^\circ
  7. Quadrilateral (4 sides):

    • Known angles: 128,128,107128^\circ, 128^\circ, 107^\circ
    • Sum of interior angles: 360360^\circ
    • Missing angle xx: x=360(128+128+107)=87x = 360^\circ - (128^\circ + 128^\circ + 107^\circ) = 87^\circ

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of any polygon?
  2. How does the number of sides in a polygon affect the sum of its interior angles?
  3. Why is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle always 180°?
  4. Can a polygon have an interior angle sum that is not a multiple of 180°? Why or why not?
  5. How would you find the measure of an exterior angle if the interior angles are known?

Tip:

Always double-check the sum of given angles before subtracting to ensure accuracy when finding the missing angle.
