Write your own definition of a polygon

Lets Share!

Aim Section 6.1


How do we identify, name, and describe polygons? How do we use the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral? How do we use polygons in real life?

Definition
A polygon is a plane figure that meets the following conditions: It is formed by three or more segments called sides, such that no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear. Each side intersects exactly two other sides, one at A each endpoint.
E B D C

Checkpoint 1
State whether the figure is a polygon. If not, explain why.
A
C

YES!

YES!

NO! One NO! Not side is not a enclosed segment.

NO! Some sides intersect more than 2 other sides.

Naming Polygons
Polygons are named by the number of sides they have.
# of Sides
3 4 5 6 7

Type of Polygon
Triangle Quadrilateral Pentagon Hexagon Heptagon

# of Sides
8 9 10 12 n

Type of Polygon
Octagon Nonagon Decagon Dodecagon n-gon

More Definitions
Convex Polygon A polygon such that no line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon. (It does not cave in)

Concave Polygon A polygon that is not convex. (It caves in)

Example 1
Identify the polygon and state whether it is convex or concave.

Concave Octagon

Convex Pentagon

Checkpoint 2
Identify the polygon and state whether it is convex or concave.

Convex Quadrilateral

Concave Pentagon

And more definitions


Equilateral Polygon a polygon in which all sides are congruent Equiangular Polygon a polygon in which all interior angles are congruent Regular Polygon a polygon that is equiangular and equilateral

Checkpoint 3
Decide whether the polygon is regular. Explain.

NO! It is equilateral but not equiangular.

YES! It is equilateral and equiangular.

Definition
Diagonal of a polygon a segment that joins two nonconsecutive vertices.

diagonals

Investigation
Draw a quadrilateral on your paper Draw in a diagonal of the quadrilateral What do you have when you do this? Make a conjecture about the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral This leads us to a theorem..

Theorem: Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral


The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360.
1 2 4 3

m1 + m2 + m3 + m4 = 360.

Example 2
P

Find mQ and mR. x + 2x + 70 + 80 = 360 3x + 150= 360 3x = 210 x = 70 mQ = 70 mR = 140

80 70 S

2x R

Checkpoint 3
Find mF, mG, and mH. Since E and G are congruent we know that mG = 55. 55 + 55 + x + x = 360 110 + 2x = 360 2x = 250 x = 125

So mF = 125, mG = 55, and mH = 125

Summarizer
A polygon has 2 pairs of supplementary angles and 1 pair of complementary angles. Can it be a quadrilateral? Explain or give an example.
Example: a quadrilateral with angles of 140, 40, 50, and 130.

Summary
As we watch the video, you should be taking notes. After taking notes, you should compile your notes into a four-sentence summary. We will share the summaries with the class.

Good vs. Bad Explanation


1/3 + 1/x = 4/9 Bad: 9, because I subtracted 1/3 and solved to get 9. Good: First, I found that 1/3 and 4/9 have a common denominator of 9. I multiplied 1/3 by 3/3 to get 3/9. I subtracted 3/9 from both sides to get 1/x = 1/9. I cross multiplied to get x=9.
