Polygons Sec: 6.1 Sol: G.10 Definition of Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by an finite number of coplanar segments such that the sides that have a common endpoint are non-collinear each side intersects exactly two other sides, but only at their endpoints. Symbolic Representation: Is named by the letters of it’s vertices, in consecutive order. Polygons Not Polygons A convex polygon is a polygon such that no line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon. A polygon that is not convex is called concave. Concave Convex Polygons may be classified by the number of sides they have. In general, a polygon with n sides is called an n-gon. This means the nonagon can also be called a 9-gon. Polygon Number of Sides Polygon 3 triangle 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 n Perimeter Is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Perimeter of Special shapes: Triangle Square Rectangle p abc p ssss p 4s p w wl l p 2 w 2l Find the Perimeter Find the Perimeter using the coordinate plane: P(-5, 1), Q(-1, 4), R(-6, -8) Step 1: Graph the points. Step 2: Use distance formula on all sides. Step 3: Add the three sides. Regular polygon a convex polygon with all angles and all sides congruent. Diagonal of a polygon a segment drawn from one vertex of a polygon to a nonconsecutive vertex. Quadrilateral _________________ _________________ _________________ Notice in each case before this the polygon is separated into triangles. The sum of the measures of the angles of each polygon can be found by adding the measures of the angles of the triangles. This is easy to find since the sum of the angles in a triangle = ______. Use the chart below to find a pattern: Convex Polygon triangle # of sides quadrilateral pentagon hexagon heptagon octagon n-gon Sum of measures 3 # of triangles 1 4 2 2(180) = 360 1(180) = 180 Interior Angle Sum Theorem If a convex polygon has n sides and S is the sum of the measures of its interior angles, then S = 180(n – 2). Exterior Angle Sum Theorem If a polygon is convex, then the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, is 360. Consider the following regular polygons.
