Essential Formulas
| What You Want | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sum of interior angles | (n − 2) × 180° | n = number of sides |
| One interior angle (regular) | (n − 2) × 180° ÷ n | All angles equal in regular polygon |
| Sum of exterior angles | Always 360° | Works for ANY polygon! |
| One exterior angle (regular) | 360° ÷ n | Quickest method for regular polygons |
| Interior + Exterior | = 180° | They're on a straight line |
