If a convex polygon has n sides, then the sum of the measure of the interior angles is (n – 2)(180°)
If a regular convex polygon has n sides, then the measure of one of the interior angles is
Ex. 1 Use a regular 15-gon to answer the questions. • Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles. • Find the measure of ONE interior angle 2340° 156°
Ex: 2 Find the value of x in the polygon x 126 100 143 130 117 126 + 130 + 117 + 143 + 100 + x = 720 616 + x = 720 x = 104

11.2 Area of Regular Polygons
Area of an Equilateral Triangle 30 30 s s 60 60 s
Ex: 1 Find the area of an equilateral triangle with 4 ft sides.
A Central Angle is an angle whose vertex is the center and whose sides are two consecutive radii A RADIUS joins the center of the regular polygon with any of the vertices
A Regular Hexagon Equal Sides s Equal Angles How many equilateral triangles make up a regular Hexagon? What is the area of each triangle? What is the area of the hexagon? 6 • (the area of the triangle)
What is the area of this regular hexagon? 41.569 units2 4 The area of an equilateral triangle A = 6.9282 The area of our equilateral triangle in this example How many identical equilateral triangles do we have? 6 A = 6 * (6.9282) The area of our hexagon in this example
An APOTHEM is the distance between the center and a side. (It MUST be perpendicular to the side.)
How to find the Area of ANY REGULAR POLYGON You need to know the apothem and perimeter Area = (1/2)•a•P or A = .5•a•P
Area of a Regular Polygon: A = ½ aP A = .5 (apothem) (# of sides)(length of each side) a
A Regular Octagon 7 ft
360/8=45 22.5° 45 x 7 3.5 ft
Perimeter is 56 feet Apothem is 8.45 feet 7 ft What is the area? Area = .5 • 8.45 • 56 Area = 236.6 ft2
