sisäkulmia

Sisäkulmia is a Finnish term that translates to "interior angles" in English. It refers to the angles formed inside a polygon. In any polygon, the sum of the interior angles depends on the number of sides. For a polygon with n sides, the sum of the interior angles can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees. For example, a triangle (n=3) has interior angles that sum to (3-2) * 180 = 180 degrees. A quadrilateral (n=4) has interior angles that sum to (4-2) * 180 = 360 degrees.

In regular polygons, where all sides and all interior angles are equal, each interior angle can be found by dividing the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides. So, for a regular n-sided polygon, each interior angle measures [(n-2) * 180] / n degrees. For instance, a regular pentagon (n=5) has interior angles measuring [(5-2) * 180] / 5 = 108 degrees each.

The concept of interior angles is fundamental in geometry and is used in various geometric proofs and calculations, including determining the properties of different shapes and solving problems related to area and perimeter. Understanding interior angles is crucial for comprehending more complex geometric concepts.
