Problem 2: Using the Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem The common housefly has eyes that consist of approximately 4000 facets. Each facet is a regular hexagon. What is the measure of each interior angle in on hexagonal facet?

What is the measure of each interior angle in a regular nonagon?

Problem 3: Using the Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem

You can draw exterior angles at any vertex of a polygon. The figures below show that the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex is 360.

Polygon Exterior Angle-Sum Theorem The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon, one at each vertex, is 360. For the pentagon
