PROPERTIES OF N-SIDED REGULAR POLYGONS. When students are first exposed to regular polygons in middle school, they learn their properties by looking at individual examples such as the equilateral triangles(n=3), squares(n=4), and hexagons(n=6).
Polygons. Definitions, notes, examples, and practice test (w/solutions) Including concave/convex, exterior/interior angle sums, diagonals, n-gon names, and more...
In a regular polygon, all interior angles are equal. The formula for the interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides is: interior angle=180¡1! 2 n " #$ % &' The sum of exterior angles in any polygon is always 360°. This can be rationalised as follows. Suppose you are walking along the perimeter of a polygon.
DEFINITION 1 A polygon is a geometric figure in the plane whose sides consist of straight line segments, and no two consecutive sides lie on the same straight line. DEFINITION 2 An n-sided polygon is called an n-gon. The most common n-gons have special names: • A 3-gon is a triangle; • A 4-gon is a quadrilateral; • A 5-gon is a pentagon;
This booklet is about identifying and manipulating straight sided shapes using their unique properties Many clever people contributed to the development of modern geometry including: • Thales of Miletus (approx. 624-547 BC) • Pythagoras (approx. 569-475 BC)
Introduction. This document aims to guide the reader into the world of polytopes, focusing on the familiar setting of polygons, the two-dimensional polytopes. We will assume the reader is comfortable with the Cartesian plane and ordered pairs of numbers. Let's get right into it! Intuitively, polygons are certain 2-dimensional shapes.
A polygon is named by the number of its sides or angles. A triangle is a polygon with three sides. The prefixtri- means three. Prefixes are also used to name other polygons. When you studied quadrilaterals in Lesson 8–1, you learned several terms that can be applied to all polygons. An equilateral polygon has all sides congruent, and an ...
