Investigation 1. Draw the polygon. Carefully measure all the interior angles, then find the sum. 2. Share your results with your group. If you measured carefully, you should all have the same sum! If your answers aren’t exactly the same, find the average. 3. Copy the table. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for different polygons. # of sides of polygon Sum of measures of angles 3 4 5 6 7 8 … n
