Draw a polygon on the floor, using a piece of chalk.
(In the figure, a pentagon ABCDE is shown) (Fig 3.8).
Fig 3.8
We want to know the total measure of angles, i.e,
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5. Start at A. Walk along . On reaching B, you need to turn through an angle of m∠1, to walk along . When you reach at C, you need to turn through an angle of m∠2 to walk along . You continue to move in this manner, until you return to side AB. You would have in fact made one complete turn.
Therefore, m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5 = 360°
This is true whatever be the number of sides of the polygon.
Therefore, the sum of the measures of the external angles of any polygon is 360°.
