Answer:
A polygon with ‘n’ number of sides , <1,<2,<3,<4,<5,…… <n are exterior angles & A,B,C,D,E…..are interior angles.
TO PROVE: <1 + <2 + <3 + <4 + <5 + ……<n = 360°
The sum of interior angles of any polygon
=(n-2)*180 ………(formula used)
PROOF: <1 + <A =180° ………(1)
<2 + <B = 180° ……………(2)
<3 + <C = 180° ………..(3)
<4 + < D = 180° ………..(4)
<5 + <E = 180° ……….(5)
And so on up to n times..
By adding all above (1)+(2)+(3)+(4)+(5)+….(n)
<1+<2+<3+<4+<5+…….<n = 180°n - (A+B+C+D+E+…..n)
= 180n -{ ( n-2)*180 }
= 180n - 180n + 2*180
= 2*180
= 360°
=> <1+<2+<3+<4+<5+…..<n = 360°
