The pattern is that the number of triangles is always 2 less than the number of sides. So an n-gon can be divided into n – 2 triangles. The sum of the angle measures of any n-gon is 180°(n – 2).

All the sides and angles of a regular polygon have equal measures.

Additional Example 2A: Finding the Measure of Each Angle in a Regular Polygon

Find the angle measures in the regular polygon.

8 congruent angles

8x° = 180°(8 – 2)

8x° = 180°(6)

8x° = 1080°
