  5. From paper to paving

  6. Polygons • Again? Didn’t we define them already? • Our previous definition:

  7. Polygons • Again? Didn’t we define them already? • Our previous definition: • A mumble mumblemumblemumblebounded by mumble mumblemumblemumble.

  8. Polygons • Again? Didn’t we define them already? • Our previous definition: • A 2-D figure bounded by line segments.

  9. Polygons • Again? Didn’t we define them already? • Our previous definition: • A 2-D figure bounded by line segments.

  10. Polygons • Our previous definition: • A 2-D figure bounded by line segments.

  11. Polygons • OK…here’s the “official” definition from the book: • A polygonis a connected set of at least three line segments in the same plane, such that each segment intersects exactly two others, one at each endpoint. • Why so complicated? • Avoid self-crossing polygons. • Avoid using terms we haven’t defined. • Break the definition down into isolated facts.

  12. Examples and Non-Examples • Sketch 2 example polygons that fit our definition. • Sketch figures that fail to be polygons, in these ways: • Have “sides” that aren’t line segments. • Have fewer than 3 line segments. • Aren’t entirely contained in one plane. • Have segments intersecting more than 2 others. • Have segments intersecting at points other than their endpoints.

  13. Polygons • The bounding segments are __________.

  14. Polygons • The bounding segments are sides. • The sides’ intersections are ____________.

  15. Polygons • The bounding segments are sides. • The sides’ intersections are vertices. • Abbreviating polygon names: name the vertices in order. • For example,“Polygon ABCDE”:

  16. Polygons • Name the vertices of the two polygons you drew earlier. • Write the name of each polygon. • (Use its side-based name, e.g. “pentagon PQRST”, if you can.)

  17. Homework • For tomorrow: Asg #25 • For Thursday/Friday:Asg #26

  18. Clean-up / Reminders • Pick up all trash / items. • Push in chairs (at front and back tables). • See you tomorrow!
