A regular polygon with 7 sides is a heptagon.

To find the measure the interior angle (I):


I=(180n-360)/(n)

Where n is the number of sides (7):


\begin{gathered} I=(180\cdot7-360)/(7) \\ I=(1260-360)/(7)=(900)/(7) \\ I=128.57\degree \end{gathered}

And the sum of the interior angles is:


\begin{gathered} Si=n\cdot I \\ Si=7\cdot128.57 \\ Si=900\degree \end{gathered}

The sum of the exterior angles (Se) is 360°.

And the sum of one exterior angle (E):


\begin{gathered} E=(360)/(n) \\ E=(360)/(7) \\ E=51.43\degree \end{gathered}

In summary:

Name: Heptagon

Sum of interior: 900°

1 Interior: 128.57°

Sum of exterior: 360°

1 Exterior:​ 51.43°
