✅ Identify the sum of interior angles for triangles, 1. Draw the first side
quadrilaterals, and regular polygons 2. At each vertex, measure and mark the given
✅ Calculate the measure of each interior angle in a angle
regular polygon 3. Draw each next side to match the angle
✅ Draw these shapes accurately using given angle 4. Close the shape
measures ✅ Check: 90 + 90 + 80 + 100 = 360°
✅ Apply what you learn through hands-on activities
Regular Polygons – Angle Calculation
Review – Basic Facts Use this formula to find each angle:
🔹 Triangle Each interior angle = [(n − 2) × 180°] ÷ n
Sum of interior angles = 180° Table
Types: Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene Polygon Sides (n) Sum of Angles Each Angle
🔹 Quadrilateral Pentagon 5 540° 108°
Sum of interior angles = 360° Hexagon 6 720° 120°
Examples: Square, Rectangle, Octagon 8 1080° 135°
Parallelogram, Trapezoid Decagon 10 1440° 144°
🔹 Regular Polygon
All sides equal, all angles equal Drawing Regular Polygons
Formula: Sum of interior angles = (n − 2) × Example: Regular Pentagon (5 sides, 108° each)
180° Steps:
Each interior angle = [(n − 2) × 180°] ÷ n 1. Draw the first side
(n = number of sides) 2. At one end, measure 108° and draw the
next side of equal length
Drawing Triangles 3. Repeat for all 5 sides
Rule: The three angles must add up to exactly 4. The last side will close the shape perfectly
180° Same method applies for hexagon (120°), octagon
Example: Draw a triangle with angles 50°, 60°, and (135°), decagon (144°)
70°
Steps: Activity 1 – Draw & Verify
1. Draw a base line Task: Draw the following shapes and check if
2. At one end, measure and mark 50° using a angles add up correctly
protractor 1. Triangle: 45°, 45°, 90°
3. At the other end, measure and mark 60° 2. Quadrilateral: 70°, 110°, 70°, 110°
4. Extend the lines until they meet; the third 3. Regular Pentagon: 108° each
angle will be 70° Tools needed: Ruler, protractor, pencil
Activity 2 – Calculate & Draw
Task:
1. Find the measure of each interior angle of a
regular hexagon
2. Draw it using your protractor and ruler
3. Label all sides and angles
Guide:
n=6
Sum = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°
Each angle = 720° ÷ 6 = 120°
Activity 3 – Challenge
Task:
Draw a regular octagon
Show your calculation first
Measure one angle to confirm it is 135°
Bonus: Can you explain why all angles are
equal in a regular polygon?
Summary
🔹 Triangle = 180° total angles
🔹 Quadrilateral = 360° total angles
🔹 Regular polygon: use formula to find each angle
🔹 Drawing steps: measure angles carefully → use
equal sides for regular shapes
🔹 Always check your total angle sum!
Assignment
1. Draw a decagon and write its total angle
sum and each interior angle
2. Create your own quadrilateral with four
different angles and verify the total
3. Bring your drawings to class for checking
Classifying Polygons
Learning Competency:
Classify polygons according to the number of sides,
whether they are regular or irregular, and whether they
are convex or non-convex.
