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.

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
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
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
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 called a polygon with equal angle measure?
All you can say about it is that it's "equiangular" ... a big word that means all of its angles measure the same size. At first, one might think that a polygon with all angles equal is "regular" ... that if all of its angles are equal, then its sides must also be all of the same length. But that's only true of a triangle, and doesn't hold for polygons with more than three sides. Example: A rectangle has all angles equal, but not its sides.
