We can cut a pentagon
into three triangles.
The sum of the interior
angles of the triangles is:
3 x 180° = 540°

determine the possible values of (Hint: determine the possible range for
the sum of the interior angles, and use these inequalities to solve).

Interior Angles
If the pentagon is regular, then all the
exterior angles are clearly the same.
Therefore:
Exterior angle of pentagon
= 360 / 5?= 72°
Interior angle of pentagon
= 180 – 72
? = 108°

Find all regular polygons which tessellate (when
restricted only to one type of polygon).
By thinking about interior angles, prove that the
regular polygons you identified above are the only
regular polygons which tessellate.
Method 1: The possible exterior angles of a
regular polygons are the factors of 360 less than
180: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30,
36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120
This gives interior angles of 179, 178, ..., 140,
135, 120, 108, 90, 60.
To tessellate, the interior angle has to divide 360.
Only 120, 90 and 60 does. This corresponds to a
hexagon, square and equilateral triangle.
?
Method 2: 360 divided by the interior angle must
give a whole number, in order for the regular
polygon to tessellate. Interior angle is 180 –
(360/n), so 360 / (180 – (360/n)) = k for some
constant k. Simplifying this gives kn – 2k – 2n = 0
This factorises to (k – 2)(n – 2) = 4
This only numbers which multiply to give 4 are 1
x 4 or 2 x 2 or 4 x 1. This n = 6, 4 or 3 in each case.
