In this lesson, we do the Proof of the Sum of Interior Angles of a Polygon using a visual method by splitting the polygon into triangles.
We explore how the formula:
🔹 Sum of Interior Angles \(= (n – 2) × 180^\circ\)
applies to different polygons, from a triangle to a heptagon and even a polygon with \(1002\) sides!
📚 Topics Covered:
✅ What are interior angles of a polygon?
✅ How can we split a polygon into non-overlapping triangles?
✅ Why does the formula \((n – 2) × 180^\circ\) work for all polygons?
✅ Step-by-step visual proof with examples!
✅ Finding the sum of interior angles for a \(1002\)-sided polygon (\(1002\)-gon).
