Ms. Harke currently is an instructor of mathematics at the State University of New York at Geneseo where she also supervises student teachers. She is a former junior and senior high school math teacher with experience in the United States and Canada. Ms. Harke’s courses produced thus far for the National PASS Center (NPC) have been very well received across the country, increasing the percentage of PASS mathematics courses being utilized throughout the migrant education network and beyond. It should be noted that two of the recent National Migrant PASS Students of the Year, Benancio Galvin of Marana, Arizona (2004) and Yesenia Medina of San Juan, Texas, and Wild Rose, Wisconsin (2006), have moved ahead toward their dreams of completing their high school graduation requirements thanks to their success with Ms. Harke’s Algebra I course. To meet the needs of migrant students requiring a more condensed resource to strengthen their math skills, the original curriculum materials were adapted, edited, modified, and expanded by Mr. Justin Allen. Mr. Allen is a certified secondary level math teacher and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in secondary education at the State University of New York at Geneseo. He taught middle school math and Algebra in Canandaigua, New York, for three years and, most recently, high school math in Livonia, New York. Mr. Allen assisted in the editing of the PASS Algebra II course which was released early in 2006. Acknowledgement is offered also to Ms. Sally Fox, Coordinator, National PASS Center, for her commitment to the development of quality curriculum. As with all materials produced by the NPC, her involvement with Integrated Math Concepts at all levels has played a key role in the addition of this offering to the growing number of courses available to migrant students and others seeking to master the necessary skills to become productive members of society. Robert Lynch, Director Module 10 – Properties of Polygons Table of Contents Page Introduction i Objectives 1 Review 16 Practice Problems 17 Answers to “Try It” Problems 22 Answers to Practice Problems 25 Glossary of Terms 31 Integrated Math Concepts – Introduction The PASS Concept PASS (Portable Assisted Study Sequence) is a study program created to help you earn credit through semi-independent study with the help of a teacher/mentor. Your teacher/mentor will meet with you on a regular basis to: answer your questions, review and discuss assignments and progress, and administer tests. You can undertake courses at your own pace and may begin a course in one location and complete it in another. Strategy Mathematics is not meant to be memorized; it is meant to be understood. This course has been written with that goal in mind. Mathematics must not be read in the same way that a novel is read. In order to read a mathematics text most effectively you must pay close attention to the structure of each expression and to the order that operations are performed. You might think of mathematics as you would a foreign language. Every symbol in a mathematical expression is meant to communicate a message in that language; therefore, to understand the language you must understand the symbolism. Always read with a pencil and scrap paper in hand. Make notes in the margins of your book where you have questions and write “what if” variations to problems to discuss with your teacher/mentor. i Course Content Integrated Math Concepts is divided into ten modules. Each module teaches concepts and strategies that are essential for establishing a firm foundation in each content area. The following is a description of the ten modules in Integrated Math Concepts: Module 1 Real Numbers Learn to recognize and differentiate between natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers. Relate the number line to the collection of real numbers. Module 2 Sets Recognize a well-defined set Learn set notation and terminology Study some subsets of real numbers – prime and composite numbers Module 3 Variables and Axioms Learn • why, when, and how to use a variable • the definition of an axiom • some specific axioms Module 4 Properties of Real Numbers Learn the characteristics and uses of the following properties of real numbers: • the commutative property • the associative property • the distributive property • identity elements • inverses • the multiplication property of zero • to understand why division by zero is not allowed • to introduce the uniqueness and existence properties ii Module 5 Fractions Become comfortable with fractions by • understanding their make-up • comparing their sizes Prepare for operations with algebraic fractions • by understanding the concepts behind the algorithms • by determining if solutions are reasonable Module 6 Decimals Become comfortable with decimals and decimal operations • by understanding the relative size of decimals • by understanding why the algorithms or rules dealing with decimals work • by testing answers for reasonableness Module 7 Order of Operations Understand why problems need to be performed in a certain order Evaluate numerical expressions using order of operations Evaluate variable expressions for specific values Module 8 Equations Translate algebraic expressions and equations, as well as consecutive integer questions Solve: • One-step equations • Two-step equations • Complex equations (combining like terms, use of the distributive property, variables on both sides) • Multi-step equations Translate algebraic inequalities Solve and graph solutions to one and two-step inequalities iii Module 9 Geometry Describe points, lines, and planes Sketch and label points, lines, and planes Use problem solving to explore points, lines, and planes Define line segments, rays, and angles Recognize and examine types of angles Explore problems using angle properties Explore line relationships Module 10 Properties of Polygons Recognize and classify 2-dimensional shapes – circles, triangles and quadrilaterals Find 2-dimensional shapes in the environment Explore the sum of the measures of the angles of triangles and quadrilaterals Classify a polygon according to the number of its sides Count diagonals in polygons Find the measures of the interior and exterior angles in polygons Course Organization Each module begins with a list of the objectives. This is a short list of what you will learn. Definitions, theorems, and ÍA set is a collection of objects. mathematical properties appear as strips of paper tacked to the page so that they may be easily found. Examples are used to illustrate each new concept. These are followed immediately by “Try It” problems to see if you understand the concept. You are to write the answers to the “Try It” problems right in your book and then check your answers with the detailed solutions farther back in the module. iv Many lessons include the following types of inserts. “Think Back” boxes – denoted with an arrow pointing backwards. These are reminders of things that you have probably already learned. “Problem solving tips” – denoted with a light bulb “Calculator tips” – denoted with a small calculator “Algorithms” – denoted with a fancy capital A. An algorithm is a rule (or step by step process) used to solve a specific type of problem. "Facts” – denoted by a small flashlight At the end of each module you will be asked to highlight parts of the lesson as a way to review the terminology and concepts that you just studied. You will also be asked to write about something that you learned in your own words or list any questions to ask your teacher/mentor about something that you did not understand. This last step is extremely important. You should not continue on to the next activity or module until all your questions have been answered and you are sure that you thoroughly understand the concept you just finished. Finally, you will be asked to practice what you have learned. Athletes in every sport must practice their skills to become better at their sport. The same is true of mathematicians. In order to become a good mathematician, you must practice what you have learned so that it becomes easier and easier to solve problems. You should keep a math journal or notebook where you will do your practice problems. Detailed answers to the practice problems will be found toward the end of the module just ahead of the glossary section. v A glossary / index of the mathematical terms used in this course has been provided at the end of each module. It contains definitions as a reference to help your understanding of these specialized mathematical terms. Unlike other PASS courses, there is no separate Mentor Manual for this course as all of the answers to practice problems are provided within each module. Should you require additional support, do not hesitate to ask your mentor or teacher. That is why they are there. Testing When you have completed all the exercises and practice problems in a module and you and your teacher/mentor feel that you have a good grasp of the material, you will take a test covering what you should have learned in that module. Test taking tips 1) Make sure all of your questions have been answered and that you feel confident that you understand the concepts on which you are to be tested. 2) Do not rush. 3) Be neat. Sometimes handwritten numbers or letters are misread. 4) Be organized. Do computations on a separate piece of paper or, if there is room on your test sheet, in the space provided, so as to keep the flow of the problem clearly in focus. 5) Check your answers to see a) if you actually answered the question that was asked, and b) that the answer is reasonable. 6) Be aware of the particular types of errors that you are prone to make. Arithmetic mistakes are often repeated if you merely repeat the computations. Use your calculator to prevent these types of errors and concentrate on a) choosing the correct operations, b) following the proper order of operations, and c) applying valid mathematical techniques. vi National PASS Center Solve Problems Analyze Organize Integrated Math Concepts Reason Measure Properties of Polygons Model Compute Communicate Objectives: Recognize and classify 2-dimensional shapes – circles, triangles and quadrilaterals Find 2-dimensional shapes in the environment Explore the sum of the measures of the angles of triangles and quadrilaterals Classify a polygon according to the number of its sides Count diagonals in polygons Find the measures of the interior and exterior angles in polygons Í Plane geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with figures that lie in a plane or flat surface. Plane geometry is that part of geometry that deals with two-dimensional figures. You are no doubt already familiar with many of these figures: circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles, etc. Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 1 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Í A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a given radius distance (the radius) from a given point (the center). center A circle divides the plane into three sections: those points on the circle, those points outside the circle, and those points inside the circle. Points on the circle Points outside the circle Points inside the circle Í A polygon is a closed figure bounded by line segments. 1. Which of the following figures represents a circle? a. b. 2. Is a circle a polygon? Explain your answer. 3. What is the least number of sides that a polygon can have? Explain. Integrated Math Concepts 2 National PASS Center Í A triangle is a polygon having three sides. Triangles can be classified according to the measure of their angles. ÍAn acute triangle is a triangle with three acute angles. Think Back Acute means less than 90° . Thus all 3 angles are less than 90° . Í A right triangle is a triangle with a right angle. Think Back A right triangle contains one angle = 90° . Í An obtuse triangle is a triangle with an obtuse angle. Think Back Obtuse means greater than 90° . Thus only one angle needs to be greater than 90° . Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 3 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Í An equiangular triangle is a triangle all of whose angles are equal. The curved marks inside the equiangular triangle indicate that the angles measure the same. You will discover the angle measurements as a “Try It”. Triangles also can be classified according to the measure of their sides. Í A scalene triangle is a triangle with no two sides congruent. Í An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides congruent. Í An equilateral triangle is a triangle all of whose sides are congruent. The single tick marks on the isosceles and equilateral triangles indicate which sides measure the same. The scalene triangle has a different number of tick marks on each of its sides indicating that the sides all have different measurements. Think Back Congruent means of the same shape and size. Integrated Math Concepts 4 National PASS Center 1. Draw a large acute triangle on scrap paper using your straight edge or ruler. 2. Label the angles 1, 2, and 3. 3.

Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 5 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 You should have discovered that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 1800 . Example 1 7x Find the measure of all of the angles in this triangle. Solution 12x + 40 Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 1800 , then (12 x + 40 ) + 9 x + 7 x = 180 0 9x 0 28 x + 400 = 1800 28 x = 1400 x = 50 7 x = 350 9 x = 450 12 x + 400 = 1000 The angles are 350 , 450 , and 1000 . 4. How many degrees is each angle of an equiangular triangle? Justify your answer. 5. If a right triangle also has an angle of 600 , how large is the third angle? Justify your answer. C 2x − 40 6. Find the measure of all the angles in the following triangle. x A Integrated Math Concepts 6 55 B National PASS Center ÍA quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. Quadrilaterals can be divided into subcategories by using their characteristics. Í A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel Í A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides congruent. Í A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles congruent. Í A square is a parallelogram with the same characteristics as the rhombus and rectangle, where all sides and all angles are congruent. Í A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Í An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with one pair of adjacent angles congruent. Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 7 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Every parallelogram is by definition a quadrilateral, but not every quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Every rectangle is by definition a parallelogram, but not every parallelogram is a rectangle. Example 2 Name two quadrilaterals other than a rectangle that are parallelograms. Solution Squares and rhombi are also parallelograms. Name a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram. Solution A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram. 7. Place the following terms on the tree diagram. Let the more general terms be placed above the more specific terms. If a branch of the tree connects two terms, the lower term must be an example of the higher term. The term “triangle” has been placed for you. Terms to use: polygon, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, isosceles trapezoid, and trapezoid. triangle Integrated Math Concepts 8 National PASS Center ÍThe line segments forming a polygon are called the Vertex sides of the polygon. A point where two sides of a polygon meet is called a vertex of the polygon. A Side polygon polygon divides a plane into three regions: the interior of the polygon, the exterior of the polygon, Interior and the polygon itself. exterior Polygons are classified according to the number of sides or vertices that they have. A polygon has the same number of sides as it does vertices. triangle Number of Sides or Vertices 3 quadrilateral 4 pentagon 5 hexagon 6 heptagon 7 octagon 8 nonagon 9 decagon 10 n-gon n Polygon Name Í A diagonal is a line segment joining two non-adjacent vertices of a polygon. Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 9 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Example 3 How many diagonals does a triangle have? Solution A triangle has no diagonals because there are no non-adjacent vertices. The diagonals from a single vertex of a polygon (with more than three sides) divide a polygon into triangles. Example 4 How many triangles are formed if diagonals are drawn from a single vertex of a quadrilateral? Solution Two triangles are formed. How many triangles are formed if diagonals are drawn from a single vertex of a pentagon? Solution Three triangles are formed. Integrated Math Concepts 10 National PASS Center Determine the number of triangles each polygon is divided into by drawing diagonals from a single vertex. Let n be greater than 3. Number of sides on polygon Number of triangles 6 7 8 9 10 11 n Í An interior angle of a polygon is an angle that lies inside the polygon and is formed by two adjacent sides of the polygon. Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 11 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Example 5 What is the measure of the sum of the interior angles in a pentagon? Solution Since a pentagon can be divided into three triangles by drawing diagonals from one of its vertices, the sum of the angles in the pentagon is the same as the sum of the angles in the three triangles. Since each triangle has a measure of 1800 , the sum of the measures of the angles in the pentagon is 3 (1800 ) = 5400 . 1. Sketch a hexagon. Draw all the diagonals from one vertex. What is the measure of the sum of the interior angles in a hexagon? 2. Sketch an octagon. Draw all the diagonals from one vertex. What is the measure of the sum of the interior angles in an octagon?

A D E Example 6 Find the measure of ∠x and the measure of the B C exterior angle ∠CDE if the measure of the other angles are as follows: x ∠A = x + 9 , ∠B = 2 x + 14 , and ∠C = 3x − 27 0 0 0 A E D Solution Since the sum of the measure of the interior angles of the trapezoid is 3600 , x + ( 3 x − 27 0 ) + ( 2 x + 140 ) + ( x + 90 ) = 3600 Since ∠ADE is a straight angle, 7 x − 40 = 3600 ∠CDE = 1800 − 520 = 1280 7 x = 3640 x = 520 A 8. Find the measure of the exterior angle y if ∠A = 1080 and ∠F = 1160 . x - 19 x-8 x x Integrated Math Concepts 14 y x +3 F National PASS Center Í A regular polygon is a polygon whose sides are all equal and whose angles are all equal. Example 7 Find the measure of an interior and an exterior angle in a regular hexagon. Solution Since a hexagon can be divided into 4 triangles, the sum of the interior angles is 4 (1800 ) = 7200 . Since a regular hexagon has 6 equal angles, each interior angle is 7200 = 1200 . Since exterior angles are supplementary to interior angles, each exterior 6 angle is 1800 − 1200 = 600 . 9. Find the measure of an interior and an exterior angle in a regular pentagon. Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 15 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Review 1.

Integrated Math Concepts 20 National PASS Center Proofs/Justifications/Constructions 1. Is this figure a quadrilateral? Justify your answer. 2. Can a right triangle be obtuse? Justify your answer. 3. Mark two points on your paper (not too close together) and label them points A and B. Using only your compass and your straight edge (the straight edge is the piece of equipment in your supplies that looks like a ruler, but has no markings on it), construct a right angle at point B. Explain why you think your construction is correct. 4. Although it includes a reflex angle, show that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the quadrilateral is 3600 .

In Exploration #2 on page 11 you made a conjecture as to the number of diagonals that can be drawn in an n-sided polygon if n > 3 . You may have written your conjecture in this form: An n-sided polygon has n ( n − 3) diagonals. Justify this answer. (Hint: How many 2 diagonals are there from each vertex? Why? How many vertices does an n-sided figure have? Why is it necessary to divide by 2?) Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 21 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 1. Figure b represents the circle. Figure a represents the interior of a circle. 2. A circle is not a polygon since it is not made up of line segments. 3. The least number of sides a polygon can have is three. If you decrease the size of one side of a triangle until it no longer exists, you end up with two line segments instead of a polygon. 4. Let x = the measure of one of the angles in the x + x + x = 1800 equiangular triangle. Since the other angles have 3x = 1800 x = 600 the same measure, each angle is 600 . 5. A right angle has a measure of 900 . Let x = the measure of the third angle. The angle is 300 . 900 + 600 + x = 1800 1500 + x = 1800 x = 300 2 x − 400 + x + 550 = 1800 6. The sum of the angles is 1800 : 3x + 150 = 1800 3 x = 1650 x = 550 2 x − 400 = 700 Integrated Math Concepts 22 National PASS Center 7. polygon quadrilateral triangle scalene triangle isosceles triangle parallelogram rhombus trapezoid rectangle isosceles trapezoid equilateral triangle square 0 0 0 0 0 0 8. 108 + ( x − 8 ) + x + x + ( x + 3 ) + 116 + ( x − 19 ) = 5 (180 ) 5 x + 2000 = 9000 5 x = 7000 x = 1400 But the question asks for the measure of y. y = 1800 − ( x − 190 ) y = 1800 − (1400 − 190 ) y = 590 9. A pentagon can be divided into 3 triangles by drawing diagonals from a single vertex and since there are 5 vertices in a pentagon, the measure of an interior angle of a regular pentagon is 3 (1800 ) 5 = 1080 . Since an exterior angle is supplementary to this angle, an exterior angle has a measure of 1800 − 1080 = 720 . Module 10 – Properties of Polygons 23 MATEMÁTICA August 2006 Explorations #1.

The number of vertices in a polygon is the same as the number of sides it has. 10. a. An interior angle of a regular heptagon is 5 (1800 ) 7 ≈ 128.60 . An exterior angle is approximately 1800 − 128.60 = 51.40 . b. An interior angle of a regular octagon is 6 (1800 ) 8 = 1350 . An exterior angle is 1800 − 1350 = 450 . c. An interior angle of a regular nonagon is 7 (1800 ) 9 = 1400 . An exterior angle is 1800 − 1400 = 400 . d. An interior angle of a regular decagon is 8 (1800 ) 10 = 1440 . An exterior angle is 1800 − 1440 = 360 . 11. Since ∠x and ∠AED are supplementary, ∠AED = 1800 − x . ( x + 13 ) + ( 0 3 2 x + 100 ) + ( 2 x + 50 ) + ( x + 80 ) + (1800 − x ) = 3 (1800 ) 2 x + 260 + 3 x + 200 + 4 x + 100 + 2 x + 160 + 3600 − 2 x = 2 ( 5400 ) 9 x + 4320 = 10800 9 x = 6480 x = 720 ∠x = 720 ∠A = x + 130 = 720 + 130 = 850 ∠B = 32 x + 100 = 3 2 ( 72 ) + 10 0 0 = 1180 ∠C = 2 x + 50 = 2 ( 720 ) + 50 = 1490 ∠D = x + 80 = 720 + 80 = 800 ∠AED = 1800 − x = 1800 − 720 = 1080 Integrated Math Concepts 26 National PASS Center 12. Each interior angle in a regular hexagon is 4 (1800 ) 6 = 1200 . The marked angles in the triangle are equal. If y = the measure of one of these angles, then 2 y + 1200 = 1800 2 y = 600 y = 300 Furthermore since x + y = 1200 , x = 1200 − y = 1200 − 300 = 900 Explorations 1. a.

This provides a way to construct a right angle. 3. a.

There is a limit. The values are approaching 1800 , but they cannot reach that value because an interior angle must be less than a straight angle. c. The polygons will begin to look more like a circle. 4. a. b. 5 diagonals 9 diagonals c. Conjecture: An n-gon has 20 diagonals n ( n − 3) diagonals. 2 Integrated Math Concepts 28 National PASS Center Justifications / Constructions 1. Yes, the figure is a quadrilateral since it has four sides each of which are line segments. 2. No, a right triangle can’t also be obtuse. An obtuse angle is greater than 900 . If the right angle and the obtuse angle are added together, the sum is already greater than 1800 , leaving nothing for the measure of the third angle. B 3. Make a circle with center at point A and passing through point B. Draw a diameter through point A and connect point B with the ends A of the diameter. 4. The figure can be divided into two triangles . Therefore the sum of the measures of its interior angles is 2 (1800 ) = 3600 . 5. If n = the number of sides in the polygon, the sum of its angles is 1800 ( n − 2 ) = 18000 n − 2 = 10 n = 12 18000 = 1500 12 6. Conjecture: The measure of the sum of the interior angles of an n-sides polygon is The polygon has 12 sides. Since the polygon is regular, each interior angle is 1800 ( n − 2 ) . This is true since the n-sided polygon can be divided into n − 2 triangles, each of which is 1800 . 7. Conjecture: The measure of each interior angle of a regular n-sided polygon with n > 3 is 1800 ( n − 2 ) . The sum of all the interior angles of the polygon must be divided by the n number of equal angles, n. 8. The number of diagonals that can be drawn from a single vertex is n − 3 . There are n vertices so it would at first thought seem that there would be n ( n − 3) diagonals altogether. However, that would be counting each diagonal twice. For example, the diagonal from vertex A to vertex B would be counted as a vertex from A and as a vertex from B, but there is really only one vertex between A and B.
