1) If all angles in a heptagon are added together, what would the sum equal?

Explanation

The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In the case of a heptagon, which has 7 sides, the sum of the angles would be (7-2) * 180 = 5 * 180 = 900. Therefore, the correct answer is 900.

Angle Sums Quizzes & Trivia

This quiz assesses understanding of angles within various polygons. It explores the calculation of interior and exterior angles, sums of angles in polygons, and specific angle measures in geometric shapes, enhancing geometric reasoning and problem-solving skills.

2) Find the sum of anlges in a regular decagon.

Explanation

A regular decagon has 10 equal angles. To find the sum of the angles, we can use the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. In this case, n = 10, so the sum of the angles is (10-2) * 180 = 8 * 180 = 1440.

3) The exterior angle of a regular nonagon measures 40 degrees.

Explanation

A regular nonagon has 9 sides, so it also has 9 exterior angles. In a regular polygon, all exterior angles are congruent. Therefore, if one exterior angle of a regular nonagon measures 40 degrees, then all the exterior angles of the nonagon must also measure 40 degrees. Therefore, the statement "The exterior angle of a regular nonagon measures 40 degrees" is true.

4) In an isoceles, right triangle, what are the measures of the angles?

Explanation

In an isosceles, right triangle, two angles are congruent because the triangle is isosceles. The right angle measures 90 degrees. Since the triangle is isosceles, the remaining two angles are congruent. Therefore, each of those angles measures 45 degrees.

Submit
5) Exterior and interior angles are complementary angles.

Explanation

Exterior and interior angles are not complementary angles. Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees, while exterior and interior angles are formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. Exterior angles are supplementary to the interior angle adjacent to it, not complementary. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
6) In a regular quadrilateral, what is the measure of an interior angle?

Explanation

In a regular quadrilateral, all interior angles are equal. Since a quadrilateral has four angles, the sum of the interior angles is 360 degrees. Therefore, each interior angle in a regular quadrilateral measures 360 degrees divided by 4, which is 90 degrees.

7) Listed below are the measures of angles in a polygon.  Find the value of x.

x, x + 72, x + 80, 100, 120, 45, 80, 100

Explanation

The given question provides a list of angles in a polygon and asks for the value of x. To find x, we can add up all the given angles and subtract them from the sum of angles in a polygon, which is 180 degrees multiplied by (number of sides - 2). In this case, the sum of the given angles is equal to 161 degrees. Therefore, the value of x is 161.

Submit
8) What is the relationship between any given polygon and the number of triangles that can be drawn inside?

Explanation

Where n is the number of sides (or vertices) of the polygon. This formula calculates the maximum number of triangles that can be formed by connecting any three non-collinear vertices of the polygon.

9) If the measures of the angles in a hexagon are as follows, find all the missing angle measures. (Check all answers that are correct)

90, 115, x + 75, 2x - 20, x + 10, x 

Explanation

The given hexagon has six angles. The first angle is given as 90 degrees. The second angle is given as 115 degrees. The third angle is represented as x + 75. The fourth angle is represented as 2x - 20. The fifth angle is represented as x + 10. The sixth angle is represented as x.

To find the missing angle measures, we can set up equations using the given information.

From the given angles, we have the equation:
90 + 115 + (x + 75) + (2x - 20) + (x + 10) + x = 720

Simplifying the equation, we get:
5x + 270 = 720

Solving for x, we find that x = 90.

Substituting x = 90 into the equations for the missing angle measures, we get:
Third angle = 90 + 75 = 165 degrees
Fourth angle = 2(90) - 20 = 160 degrees
Fifth angle = 90 + 10 = 100 degrees
Sixth angle = 90 degrees

Therefore, the missing angle measures are 100, 160, and 165 degrees.
