Option 3 : When the numbers of side increases, the sum of the measures of interior angles of a polygon also increases.
A Polygon is a flat or plane, 2-dimensional closed shape with straight sides. There are no curved sides to it. For example- triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
An Interior angle is an angle located inside a shape.
Interior angle property of a Polygon:
- The sum of all the interior angles of a Polygon = (n-2) X 180º, where (n= number of sides).[ alt="polygon-1" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/22/05/polygon-1.png" style="width: 240px; height: 191px; float: right;">
- For example- a triangle has 3 sides, and the sum of its interior angles will be (n-2)X180º = (3-2)X180º = 180º
- A quadrilateral has 4 sides and the sum of its interior angles will be, (n-2)X180º = (4-2)X180º =360º
- A Pentagon has 5 sides, and the sum of its interior angles will be (n-2)X180º =5-2X180º =540º
Hence, we conclude that when the number of sides increases, the sum of measures of interior angles of a polygon also increases by 180º.
