The Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem A diagonal is a segment that connects two nonconsecutive vertices in a polygon!
The Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem Essential Understanding: The sum of the interior angle measures of a polygon depends on the number of sides the polygon has. By dividing a polygon with n sides into (n – 2) triangles, you can show that the sum of the interior angle measures of any polygon is a multiple of 180.
