Polygons Section 1-6
polygon – a many-sided figure • convex polygon – a polygon such that no line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon.
concave convex
3 sides: triangle • 4 sides: quadrilateral • 5 sides: pentagon • 6 sides hexagon • 8 sides: octagon • 10 sides: decagon • n sides: n-gon
diagonal – a segment joining 2 nonconsecutive vertices of the polygon When referring to a polygon, list its consecutive vertices in order. B A F C E D
Theorem 2-13 • The sum of the measures of the angles of a convex polygon with n sides is
Theorem 2-14 • The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon, one angle at each vertex is 360.
regular polygon – a polygon that is both equiangular and equilateral
