Recall that adjacent interior/exterior angles are linear pairs. So, in a polygon with n-sides, there are also
____ vertices. Hence, there are also n pairs of _____________ angles. The sum of all of the
polygon’s supplementary angles is______, which is the sum of the interior and exterior ∠’s. Substitute
the formulas below to derive the exterior angle sum of any convex polygon.
