| What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any n-gon? | 180*(n - 2) OR 180*n - 360 |
| What is an n-gon? | A polygon with the number of sides equal to 'n' |
| For any polygon, what is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles? | 360 degrees |
| For an equiangular polygon, what is the formula for the measure of each interior angle? | 180 - (360/n) OR 180*(n - 2))/n |
| Which two angles in a kite are congruent? | the nonvertex angles |
| In a kite, which diagonal is bisected? | the diagonal connecting the nonvertex angles |
| In a kite, which diagonal is a perpendicular bisector? | the diagonal connecting the vertex angles |
| In a kite, which 2 angles are bisected by the diagonal connecting them? | the vertex angles |
