Polygons and Their Properties
- Sum of interior angles of n-sided polygon = (n-2) × 180°
- Sum of exterior angles of any polygon = 360°
- For regular polygons: Each interior angle = (n-2) × 180°/n
3
Triangles - Types and Properties
- Sum of angles in any triangle = 180°
- Triangle inequality: Sum of any two sides > third side
- Exterior angle = sum of two non-adjacent interior angles
4
