If you are allowed to "know" that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, then you can construct the diagonal of the four sided figure making two triangles and when you add 180 to 180 you get 360.

How do you figure a triangles degrees if 2 sides are 93 and 63 degrees?

triangles always have 180 degrees in total. So the degrees for the final angle would be 180 - 93 - 63.


Why can all 5 sided figures be made from three triangles?

Because there are 540 interior degrees in a five sided figure and the total sum of three triangles is 540 degrees


What do the angles of a five sided polygon add up to?

540 degrees. you figure it out by seeing how many triangles you can make in the polygon (without crossing lines), and, because triangles equal 180 degrees, you multiply 180 times how many triangles you can make.


What figure measure 108 degrees?

An obtuse angle.


What is the internal angle of a hexagon?

120 degrees The way to figure any polygon is to draw diagonals from one of the vertexes to all the others and count the triangles. A 6 sided figure has 4 triangles. 4 times 180 = 720 total degrees. Divide that by 6 and you have 120.

What is the sum of the interior angle of a twenty sided polygon?

(20-2)*180 18*180 3240 The way that I remember this is that a triangle, 3 sides, has one triangle in it. A four sided figure, if you draw one diagonal, has 2 triangles in it. So there are 2 less triangles in a figure than the number of sides. A triangle's interior angle measure is 180 degrees.


Which figure will contain 33 total triangles if figure 1 has 3 triangles and figure 2 has 5 triangles?

The simplest pattern is 2n+1, so the 16th figure will have 33 triangles. Of course, if you are creating new triangles and also keeping the old triangles, this would be different.
