ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES Learning objectives By the end of this topic, you should be able to: • calculate an interior angle in a polygon; • use the relationship in a circle between its centre, a chord and a perpendicular bisector; • identify the relationship between a radius and a tangent to a circle; • identify the angle in a semi-circle. © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY TOPIC 1. ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES 1.1 Determining an angle in a polygon A polygon is a many sided 2D shape. A regular polygon has all its sides of equal length and can be composed of congruent isosceles triangles. Look at these regular polygons. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 ◦ so each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60◦ . The interior angle is 60 ◦ . The sum of the angles in a square is 360 ◦ so each angle is 90 ◦ . The interior angle is 90◦ . Angles round a point equal 360 ◦ so each angle at the centre of a pentagon is 360 ÷ 5 = 72◦ . All triangles are isosceles so the other two angles are equal and (180 − 72) ÷ 2 = 54◦ . The interior angle is 108 ◦ . (Note that 180 − 72 = 108.) © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY 3 4 TOPIC 1. ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES Key point Remember: • Angles round a point will equal 360 ◦ . • All the interior angles of a regular polygon will be the same size. Example Problem: Calculate the size of an interior angle of a regular nonagon. Solution: The angles at the centre are 360 ÷ 9 = 40 ◦ The interior angle is (180 − 40) ÷ 2 × 2 = 180 − 40 = 140◦ (Remember the interior angle = 180 - angle at centre.) .......................................... © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY TOPIC 1.

Solution: a) Calculate the angles at the centre of the pentagon GHIJK 360 ÷ 5 = 72◦ Calculate the interior angle 180 - 72 = 108 Therefore, ∠GHI = 108 ◦ b) ∠GHI & ∠AHG are supplementary angles. ∠AHG = 180 − 108 = 72◦ c) Triangle AGH is isosceles so angles AHG and AGH are equal. ∠GAH = 180 − (2 × 72) = 36◦ d) Angles AHB and GHI are vertically opposite angles. since angle GHI = 108◦ , ∠AHB = 108◦ Triangle ABH is isosceles so angles BAH and ABH are equal. ∠BAH = (180 − 108) ÷ 2 = 36◦ ..........................................

ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES 1.2 Using angle properties in circles Angles of a triangle Go online When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the patterns of angles around each point are the same. We are particularly interested in this pair of equal angles (x ◦ ) and this pair (y ◦ ). These are alternate angles. . . the ones that form ’Z-bends’. Given any triangle we can always extend the sides and draw a line through the vertex parallel to the opposite side. We have formed two pairs of useful alternate angles. Notice in the following diagram that the three angles of the triangle come together to form a straight line. The sum of the angles in any triangle equal 180 ◦ . The angles which form a straight angle are called supplementary angles and equal 180 ◦◦ . .......................................... © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY TOPIC 1. ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES 9 Properties of a circle (1) All radii of a circle are equal. If radii are drawn to the end of a chord then the triangle formed will be isosceles. Go online .......................................... Properties of a circle (2) A circle with its centre is drawn and a diameter drawn through the centre. A point is chosen on the circumference of the circle. . . not the end point of the existing diameter. A diameter can always be drawn from this point. These two diameters are equal and bisect each other. . . the configuration of the diagonals is a rectangle. So given any diameter, any point on the circumference is a corner of a rectangle using the diameter as a diagonal. The diameter subtends an angle of 90 ◦ at any point on the circumference. The right angle is always on the circumference of the circle opposite the diameter and we call this property "The angle in a semi-circle is a right angle". © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY Go online 10 TOPIC 1. ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES .......................................... Properties of a circle (3) Go online A circle with its centre is drawn and a diameter drawn through the centre. A chord that cuts the circle in two places is drawn at right angles to the diameter. The diameter is an axis of symmetry. . . the chord is bisected. A second chord parallel to the first is drawn to the right. . . the two points of intersection are closer together and the chord is at right angles to the diameter. A third chord parallel to the first two is drawn further to the right. . . the two points of intersection are even closer together and the chord is at right angles to the diameter. At some point the two points of intersection will become one. . . the chord will become a tangent and the tangent is at right angles to the diameter. A tangent will be at right angles to a radius drawn to the point of contact. © H ERIOT-WATT U NIVERSITY TOPIC 1. ANGLES IN POLYGONS AND CIRCLES 11 ..........................................
