Do Now • Take out your calculator. • Take a protractor from the front. • In your notebook answer the following questions: • How many sides does a pentagon have? • Draw a hexagon. • What shape has 7 sides?
Today’s Objectives • Discover the sum of the angle measures in a polygon • Write formulas for the measure of the interior angle of an equiangular polygon. • Use problem solving skills
Polygons • Triangle • Quadrilateral • Pentagon • Hexagon • Heptagon • Octagon • Nonagon • Decagon • 11—gon • Dodecagon • 13—gon • N-gon
Investigation • Draw the polygon. Carefully measure all the interior angles, then find the sum. • Share your results with your group. If you measured carefully, you should all have the same sum! If your answers aren’t exactly the same, find the average. • Copy the table. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for different polygons.
Quadrilateral sum Conjecture • The sum of the measures of the four interior angles of any quadrilateral is _____. • 360o .
Pentagon sum Conjecture • The sum of the measures of the five interior angles of any pentagon is _____. • 540o .
Polygon Sum Conjecture • How many sides? • How many triangles? • How many degrees?
Polygon sum Conjecture • The sum of the measures of the n interior angles of any n—gon is _____. • 180o(n—2) .
Regular Polygons • Regular Polygons—Equilateral and equiangular • Equilateral—all n sides are congruent. • Equiangular—all n interior angles are congruent.
Regular polygons. • Find the measure of each interior angle.
Polygon sum Conjecture • In a regular polygon, the measure of each interior angle of any n—gon is _____. • 180o(n—2) . n
