The interior angle is the angle between two line segments, having two endpoints connected via a path, facing the path connecting them.
All of the interior angles of a regular polygon are congruent (in other words, regular polygons are equiangular).
Properties
- All the interior angles of an
sided regular polygon sum to
degrees. - All the interior angles of an
sided regular polygon are
degrees. - As the interior angles of an
sided regular polygon get larger, the ratio of the perimeter to the apothem approaches
.
