Best Answer

There is no way to work out the angles in a general polygon. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon, with n sides, is (n-2)*pi radians [or (n-2)*180 degrees]. Therefore, if you know the measure of n-1 angles, you can work out the size of the nth angle.

Alternatively, if the polygon is one of the rare type - a regular polygon - then all its angles are equal. In that case, you can divided the above sum by n.

How do you work out the angle sum of any polygon?

The sum of the interior angles (the angles of a polygon is equal to the 180*(n-2), where n is the number of sides. For example, if a polygon has 5 sides the sum of the angles is 180*(5-2), which is 540 degrees. The sum of the exterior angles (the angles on the outside of the polygon made by extending a side and measuring the angle between the extension and the nearest side) is always equal to 360 degrees.
