This page focuses on the interior angles of polygons and provides a formula for calculating their sum. It presents visual examples of polygons with different numbers of sides and their corresponding interior angle sums.
The page introduces the formula for calculating the sum of interior angles of a polygon:
Formula: Sum of interior angles of polygons formula: (n-2) × 180°, where 'n' is the number of sides.
The page provides examples of this formula applied to polygons with varying numbers of sides, from triangles (3 sides) to 17-sided polygons.
Example: For a pentagon (5 sides), the sum of interior angles is calculated as: (5-2) × 180° = 540°
Highlight: The formula works for both regular and irregular polygons, as long as you know the number of sides.
This page presents practical examples of calculating angles in polygons using the interior angle sum formula. It demonstrates how to solve for unknown angles in both regular and irregular polygons.
Example 1: Finding an unknown angle in a 6-sided polygon The page walks through the process of calculating an unknown angle 'x' in a hexagon, given the measures of the other angles.
Example: In a 6-sided polygon with known angles of 110°, 130°, 60°, 70°, and 170°, the unknown angle 'x' is calculated to be 260°.
Example 2: Determining an angle in a regular polygon This example shows how to find the measure of each angle in a regular 12-sided polygon.
Example: In a regular 12-sided polygon, each interior angle measures 150°.
Example 3: Identifying a polygon from its interior angle sum The final example demonstrates how to determine the number of sides in a regular polygon given the sum of its interior angles.
Example: A regular polygon with a sum of interior angles of 1440° is identified as a decagon (10-sided polygon).
Highlight: These examples showcase the versatility of the interior angle sum formula in solving various polygon-related problems.

This page introduces the concept of polygons and their types. It explains the origin of the word "polygon" from Greek and defines it as a two-dimensional shape with multiple sides made of straight lines that form a closed shape.
The page distinguishes between two types of polygons:
Regular Polygons: These have all sides of equal length and all angles of the same size.
Irregular Polygons: These have sides of different lengths and angles of different sizes.
Vocabulary: A polygon is a two-dimensional shape with multiple sides made of straight lines that form a closed shape.
Example: Regular polygons include equilateral triangles, squares, regular pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, and octagons.
Highlight: The key difference between regular and irregular polygons lies in the consistency of their side lengths and angle sizes.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
