  2. Definition of Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by an finite number of coplanar segments such that • the sides that have a common endpoint are non-collinear • each side intersects exactly two other sides, but only at their endpoints. • Symbolic Representation: Is named by the letters of it’s vertices, in consecutive order.

  3. A convex polygon is a polygon such that no line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon. A polygon that is not convex is called concave.

  4. Polygons may be classified by the number of sides they have. In general, a polygon with n sides is called an n-gon. This means the nonagon can also be called a 9-gon.

  5. Polygons may be classified by the number of sides they have. In general, a polygon with n sides is called an n-gon. This means the nonagon can also be called a 9-gon.

  6. Perimeter Is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Perimeter of Special shapes:

  7. Regular polygon a convex polygon with all angles and all sides congruent.

  8. Find the Perimeter

  9. Find the Perimeter using the coordinate plane: P(-5, 1), Q(-1, 4), R(-6, -8) Step 1: Graph the points. Step 2: Use distance formula on all sides. Step 3: Add the three sides.

  10. Diagonal of a polygon a segment drawn from one vertex of a polygon to a nonconsecutive vertex.

  11. Notice in each case before this the polygon is separated into triangles. The sum of the measures of the angles of each polygon can be found by adding the measures of the angles of the triangles. This is easy to find since the sum of the angles in a triangle = ______. Use the chart below to find a pattern:

  12. Find the measure of each interior angle

  13. Interior Angle Sum Theorem If a convex polygon has n sides and S is the sum of the measures of its interior angles, then S = 180(n– 2).

  14. Exterior Angle Sum Theorem If a polygon is convex, then the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, is 360.

  15. Consider the following regular polygons. Find the sum of the exterior angles sum of int. angle=
