interior angles

Polygon's inner measurements

Interior angles are the angles formed inside a polygon where two sides meet, or the angles on the inner side of two lines crossed by a transversal.

In a triangle, the three interior angles always sum to 180 degrees; in any convex polygon, the sum follows a predictable formula based on the number of sides: The interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540 degrees.
