We can extend the angle sum property theorem to any polygons by splitting the polygons into triangles.
From the above table, it is clear that for any polygon with \(n\) sides the sum of the interior angle is \((n-2)\)\(×180°\).
Thus, the sum of the interior angle of a polygon is \((n-2)×180°\).
Let us find each interior angle of a regular polygon:
We know that 'a regular polygon is a polygon whose all sides and all angles are equal. Thus, a regular polygon is both equiangular and equilateral'.
As all the angles are equal in a regular polygon, each interior angle of a polygon is degree.
- The sum of all interior angles of a polygon with '\(n\)' sides is \((n-2)×180°\).
- Each interior angle of a regular polygon with '\(n\)' sides is .
