Let n be the number of sides of each polygon.

For angles...

Size of each angle = (n2)(180)n(in degrees)

 

For perimeters and areas(i love area questions :D)

Let n be the number of sides of each regular polygon and x be the length of each side

Perimeter = nx

 

Also I invented some of the area formulas to get the area of regular polygons(Length of each side = x)

(all trig functions in degrees)

Regular pentagon: (x2sin72)(1+cos36)

Remarks: The original regular pentagon area formula needs to know the apothem but my formula need not. 

Regular hexagon: 33x2×12

Regular octagon: (2x2)(1+2)

I found this all in one day. I used trigonometric functions when finding the regular pentagon and hexagon area formula and pythagoras theorem when finding the regular octagon area formula. Hope this can help you :D
