12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a convex pentagon?
Solution
Correct answer: C
A convex pentagon divides into three triangles from one vertex.
How many triangles does a convex nonagon form when every diagonal from one vertex is drawn?
Correct answer: A
There are two fewer triangles than sides. A nonagon has nine sides.
An interior angle of a convex polygon measures 112∘112^\circ112∘. What is its exterior turn?
Correct answer: D
The interior angle and its exterior turn form a linear pair.
A convex polygon has eleven sides. What is the sum of exactly one exterior turn at every vertex, following its boundary in one direction?
Correct answer: B
The number of sides changes the interior sum, but one consistently chosen exterior turn per vertex totals one full turn.
What is one exterior turn of a convex regular octagon?
Eight equal turns share the full turn.
What is one interior angle of a convex regular hexagon?
The exterior turn is one sixth of a full turn.
The interior angle is its supplement.
A convex regular polygon has twenty sides. What is one exterior turn?
Divide the full turn equally among the twenty vertices.
A convex regular polygon has an exterior turn of 30∘30^\circ30∘. How many sides does it have?
Each vertex uses thirty degrees of the full turn.
How many congruent squares meet at each vertex of a regular square tessellation?
Each square contributes a right angle.
How many congruent equilateral triangles meet at each vertex of their regular tessellation?
Each equilateral triangle has a sixty-degree corner.
Three regular pentagon corners, each 108∘108^\circ108∘, meet without overlapping near a shared vertex. How large is the unfilled angle there?
First total the three corners.
Subtract from the full turn.
Why can every diagonal from a chosen vertex of a convex polygon be used in an interior fan triangulation?
Convexity ensures a segment between vertices stays in the polygon. Distinct diagonals from the chosen vertex cannot cross away from that vertex, so the triangles partition the interior. Equal lengths are unnecessary.
