In any polygon the sides can all be joined to the middle by lines coming from the corners. Each pair of these lines, and the side of the ploygon which joins them makes a triangle.
In an X-sided polygon there will be X triangles
The angles of a triangle always add up to 180º.
Multiply the number of sides by 180 and you'll get a certain figure = 180X.
The centre of the polygon where the triangles all meet is a circle, so we need to subtract that from the 180X. A circle is 360º.
So the formula which works out the angle sum of a polygon is (180X - 360)º.
If the polygon is regular, then the individual angles will be ((180X - 360) / X)º.
360 ________________________________________________ Sum of Interior Angles of a Polygon = 180 (n-2) Sum of Exterior Angles of a Polygon = 360 The sum of an angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360
Theorem 6-1-2; Polygon Exterior Angle Sum Theorem:The sum of the exterior angle measures, one angle at each vertex, of a convex polygon is 360 degrees.

The question has been asked "What is the angle sum of a thirteen sided polygon?" The answer to this question is 1980 degrees. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon of n sides = 180(n - 2)
The formula for calculating the interior angles for any polygon is:- (number of sides -2)*180 = sum of interior angles So: (9 -2)*180 = 1260 degrees
it depends what kind of polygon but the sum of the angles will equal a # divisible by 90
1440 degrees
