  • Exterior Angle Sum Theorem
    ::外部外外角集合定理

    An exterior angle is an angle that is formed by extending a side of the polygon .
    ::外部角是一个通过延伸多边形侧面而形成的角度。

    As you can see, there are two sets of exterior angles for any vertex on a polygon, one going around clockwise ( 1 s t hexagon), and the other going around counter-clockwise ( 2 n d hexagon). The angles with the same colors are vertical and congruent .
    ::正如您所看到的,多边形上的任何顶点都有两组外部角度,其中一组围绕时针(第1个六边形),另一组则围绕逆时针(第2个六边形)运行。同一颜色的角是垂直和相近的。

    The Exterior Angle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the exterior angles of ANY convex polygon is 360 . If the polygon is regular with n sides, this means that each exterior angle is 360 n .
    ::外部角集合理论称,任何锥形多边形的外部角之和为360 。如果多边形是正向正向,这意味着每个外部角为360n 。

    What if you were given a seven-sided regular polygon ? How could you determine the measure of each of its exterior angles?
    ::如果给你们一个七面正多边形呢?你怎么确定每个外角的尺寸呢?

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 12-gon?
    ::正常的 12 边形的每个外部角度的量度是多少 ?

    Divide  360  by the given number of sides.
    ::以给定的边数除以 360 。

    30

    Example 2
    ::例2

    What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 100-gon?
    ::普通的100角外角的量度是多少?

    Divide  360  by the given number of sides.
    ::以给定的边数除以 360 。

    3.6

    Example 3
    ::例3

    What is y ?
    ::什么是Y? What is y?

    y is an exterior angle and all the given angles add up to 360 . Set up an equation.
    ::y 是一个外部角度,所有给定角度加起来为360。设置一个方程。

    70 + 60 + 65 + 40 + y = 360 y = 125

    ::70606540y=360y=125

    Example 4
    ::例4

    What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular heptagon ?
    ::普通七边形的每个外部角度的量度是多少?

    Because the polygon is regular, the interior angles are equal. It also means the exterior angles are equal. 360 7 51.43
    ::多边形是普通的, 内部角度是相等的 。 这还意味着外角是相等的 。 360\\\\\\\\\\\\\\51.43\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    Example 5
    ::例5

    What is the sum of the exterior angles in a regular 15-gon?
    ::正常的15角外角的外角总和是多少?

    The sum of the exterior angles in any convex polygon, including a regular 15-gon, is 360 .
    ::包括正常的 15 个方形在内的任何方形多边形的外部角总和为360 。
