internal angles

Angles inside shapes

Internal angles are the angles formed inside a polygon where two sides meet.

A triangle's internal angles always sum to 180 degrees; a quadrilateral's to 360 degrees.

The term distinguishes these from external angles, which are measured outside the shape: The internal angles of a regular hexagon are each 120 degrees.
