Polygonal Constructions, Continued Polygons composed of five or more sides (Continued) Using a protractor to construct multisided polygonal figures requires you to mathematically compute the common angle using a formula. The formula divides the 360° of a circle by how ever many sides the polygon requires. For example, a heptagon or seven-sided polygonal figure requires a common angle of 51.3° (360° ÷ 7 = 51.3°). Figure 2-44 shows a nine-sided (360° ÷ 9 = 40°) polygon. Figure 2-44.—A nongon. 2-44
