Unit Standards

MAFS.912.G-CO.3.11 (DOK 3)

Prove theorems about parallelograms; use theorems about parallelograms to solve

problems. Theorems include: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are

congruent, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely,

rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals.

MAFS.912.G-GPE.2.4 (DOK 2)

Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or

disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle;

prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and

containing the point (0, 2).

Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem

The sum of the measures of the angles of an n-gon is (n 2)180.

You can write this as a formula. This formula works for regular and irregular polygons.

Sum of angle measures = (n 2)180

Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem

What is the sum of the measures of the angles in a hexagon?

Solution: There are six sides, so n = 6.

Sum of angle measures = (n 2)180

= (6 − 2)180 Substitute 6 for n

= 4(180) Subtract.

= 720 Multiply.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a hexagon is 720

Note: You can use the formula to find the measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon

if you know the number of sides.

Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem

What is the measure of each angle in a regular pentagon?

Solution: A pentagon has 5 sides, so n = 5.

Sum of angle measures = (n 2)180

= (5 − 2)180 Substitute 5 for n

= 3(180) Subtract.

= 540 Multiply.

Divide by the number of angles:

Measure of each angle = 540 5

= 108 Divide.

Each angle of a regular pentagon measures 108.

Polygon Exterior Angle-Sum Theorem

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a

polygon is 360.

measures 72.

For what value of x and y must figure ABCD be a parallelogram?

Solution: In a parallelogram, the two pairs of opposite angles are congruent. So, in ABCD, you know that x 2y and 5y + 54 4x. You can use these two expressions to solve for x and y.
