The answer is:
Sum of Angles in a Regular Polygon = (Number of Sides - 2) * 180
Size of each of those angles = Sum of Angles / Number of Angles
So for a Square it would be
Sum = (4 - 2) * 180 = 360
Size of each angle = 360 / 4 = 90

How big is each angle n a regular quilateral?
A regular quadrilateral is a square and each angle is 90 degrees (i.e. a right angle).
What are the interior angles of a 5 sides polygon?
Any value between 0 and 360 degrees (not including those two values). If the polygon were regular, and that is a BIG if, then each interior angle would be 108 degrees.
If adjacent equal sized angles are needed to form a straight angle how big is each angle?
Each angle is 180/5 = 36 degrees
If five adjacent equal sized angles are needed to from a straight angle how big is each angle?
They would be 36 degrees each because 36 multiplied by 5 is 180 degrees. The sum in degrees for a straight line is 180 degrees. Answer:36 degrees each angle
What is the total interior angle of a circle?
The interior angle of a circle is equal to 180 degrees. Let me sketch a "proof" for this non-intuitive result. For the purpose of simplicity and without loss of generality, let assume that a n-side polygon is regular. Now, we can calculate the sum of the interior angles in the n-side polygon as: (n-2)*180o (1) where n represents the number of sides. N order to find an interior angle in the n-side polygon we simply divide the formula (1) by n in order to get an interior angle, so: [(n-2)*180]/n= =(180n-360)/n =(180n)/n-360/n =180-360/n (2) Now, it is easy to see that as the number of the side of the polygon increase, i.e. form a pentagon to a hexagon, the polygon becomes to look more and more like a circle. If we use equation (2) we can see that as n increases the first term stays the same 180, but the 360/n will become smaller and smaller. Now, let me imagine a is very big number "infinitely" big number then the last term will disappear and one can rewrite (2) as 180-360/n= (n becomes "infinitely big")=180. That is the line of reasoning why the answer is 180.

90 degrees
If the sum of the interior angles of a polygon equals 1080 degree's what is the measure of each interior angle of the polygon?
Sum of interior angles = (n-2)*180 degrees = 1080 deg So (n-2) = 1080/180 = 6 => n = 8. The polygon is, therefore, an octagon. However, there is no reason to assume that the interior angles of this polygon are all the same - they could all be different with the only constraint being their sum. IF, and that is a big if, the polygon were regular, then all its angles would be equal and each interior angle = 1080/8 = 135 degrees.
The perimeter of a regular polygon is 63 ft. An exterior angle of the polygon measures 40 degrees . Find the length of each side. Please Explain Step By Step?
Suppose the polygon has n sides. The polygon is regular => each of its exterior angles is equal.The sum of all n angles = 360 deg so each angle is 360/n deg Therefore 360/n = 40 => n = 9 sides. Then perimeter = 9 * length of one side = 63 ft. So each side is 63/9 = 7 ft.
What are two characteristics of a regular polygon?
big and long
If adjacent equal sized angles are needed to form a straight angle how big is each angle?
Each angle is 180/5 = 36 degrees
If five adjacent equal-sized angles are needed to form a straight line how big is each angle?
Each angle is 180/5 = 36 degrees
How big is each angle in a regular octagon?
180(n-2) = the measure of any interior angle of a shape."n" represents the number of sidesTherefore, 180(8-2=10801080 is the total of all the interior angles together, so divide it by 8 to find the measure of a single angle, which would be 135

They would be 36 degrees each because 36 multiplied by 5 is 180 degrees. The sum in degrees for a straight line is 180 degrees. Answer:36 degrees each angle
