Interior Angles in Polygons Exploration

Auteur :Mdm Lim, Tim Brzezinski, Alfonso Garcia

INSTRUCTIONS

Your objective: Find a rule for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon (for today). 1) Before you begin, make sure the box labeled "Show Interior Angles" is the only one checked. You will be working on that part only for today. 2) For each polygon, drag the slider from left to right. As you drag the slider, answer the questions along the way. Have fun!
