Interior Angle

Pronunciation: /ɪnˈtɪər.i.ər ˈæŋ.gəl/ Explain

1	Figure 1: Interior angle of a polygon.	The interior angle of a polygon is the angle on the interior at a vertex of the polygon.[2] Note that the sum of the measure of an interior angle of a polygon and the measure of the corresponding exterior angle is 180° or π radians.
2	Figure 2: Interior angle between parallel lines.	When two parallel lines are intersected by a third line, the angles on the inside of the parallel lines are the interior angles. Note that the sum of the measure of the interior angle and the measure of the corresponding exterior angle is 180° or π radians.
