From any one of the vertices construct a diagonal to every other vertice of the polygon.
So, the total number of triangles formed in the polygon would be (n-2), where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
Also, according to the Angle sum property of a triangle, the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.
So, the sum of all the angles of the polygon is equal to the number of triangles multiplied by 180°, i.e., (n-2)180°.
Also, the number of angles in an n sided polygon is n and all the angles are equal as it is a regular polygon.
So, measure of each angle is obtained by dividing the sum of all the angles by the number of angles, i.e., (n-2)180°/n.
