Here two of the irregular polygons are divided up into triangles. The green lines create triangles by connecting the vertices. The red lines are creating interior triangles by drawing segments from an interior point. How would you use each of these methods to find the sum of the interior angles? In the space below, try drawing three different irregular polygons and use the triangle method to determine the sum of the interior angles.
