Have a look back at the answers you have picked. Can you recognize a pattern when adding an extra side?

What do you think the pattern is?[br]

Add 360[math]^\circ[/math] each time you add a side Add 90[math]^\circ[/math] each time you add a side Add 270[math]^\circ[/math] each time you add a side Add 180[math]^\circ[/math] each time you add a side

[b]Now have a ago at using this formula:[br][br]Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180[br][br]See if you get the same answers.[/b]

Does the formula work only for regular polygons?

What kind of polygon is this?

Octagon Pentagon Hexagon Heptagon

Add up all the angles and also use the formula.[br]Do you get the same answers?

Yes No
