Polygon

What's polygon ？
Polygon
A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of
segments such that:
1.The sides that have a common endpoint
are noncollinear, and
2.Each side intersects exactly two other
sides, but only at their endpoints.
Nonexamples
Polygons
Can be concave or convex.

Concave Convex
Concave
 If any part of a diagonal contains points in the exterior of the
polygon.
Convex
 If no diagonal contains points in the exterior.
A regular polygon is always convex.

Ex: What is the sum of the measures of the
interior angles of an octagon?

Sum = (n – 2)180°
= (8 – 2)180°
= 6× 180°
= 1,080°
1. Ex: If the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a
convex polygon is 2340°, how many sides does the
polygon have.
(n – 2)180 = Sum
(n – 2)180 = 2340
180n – 360 = 2340
+ 360 + 360
180n = 2,700
180 180
n = 15 sides
1.Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a 16–gon.
(16 – 2)×180°= 2520°
2.If the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex
polygon is 3600°, how many sides does the polygon have.

(n – 2)×180° = 3600°
3.Solve for x. 180n = 3960
180n° – 360° = 3600°
180 180
+ 360 + 360
n = 22 sides

4x - 2° 108°

82° 2x + 10°
(4 – 2)×180° = 360
108 + 82 + 4x – 2 + 2x + 10 = 360 6x = 162
6x + 198 = 360 6 6
x = 27
 An equilateral polygon: All sides congruent.
 An equiangular polygon: All angles congruent.
 A regular polygon: All the sides and angles congruent.

Equilateral Polygon Equiangular Polygon Regular Polygon


Regular Polygon
A convex polygon in which all the sides are congruent
and all the angles are congruent is called a regular
polygon.
Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem
The measures of each exterior angle of a triangle
equals the sum of the measures of its two remote
interior angles.
Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem
The sum of the measures of the exterior
angles of a convex polygon, one at each
vertex, is 360°.

Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is


360

n
where n is the number of sides in the
polygon
Polygon Exterior Angle-Sum Theorem
 The sum of the measures of the exterior
angles of a polygon, one at each vertex, is
360.

Sum of exterior angles is 360°
(4x – (4x-12)+60+ (3x+13)+65+54+68=360
