10-7 Polygons & Tessellations (page 446-449) Indicator G2: Properties of 2-dimensional figures
The size and shape of each state in the United States is different. Analyze the shapes of the states in both groups below. 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 What are the differences between the shapes in the two groups?
On the previous slide, the states from group 1 are polygons. • A polygon is a simple, closed figure formed by 3 or more straight lines. • A simple figure does not have lines that cross each other.
A polygon that has all sides congruent and all angles congruent is called a regular polygon. • Equilateral triangles and squares are examples of regular polygons.
Reminder: The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180º and in a quadrilateral is 360º. To find the measure of the angles in a regular polygon: • Draw all the diagonalsfrom ONE vertex & count the number of triangles. (Each Triangle= 180º) • Find the sum of the angle measures in the polygon. • Find the measure of each angle by dividing by the number of angles. 1 2 3 3 Triangles 3 × 180º = 540º 5n = 540 5 5 n= 108 The measure of each angle in a regular pentagon is 108º.
One more thing… • A tessellation is a pattern of polygons that fit together with no overlaps and no holes. • The sum of the measures of the angles where the vertices meet in a tessellation is 360º 90º 135 135 +90 360º 135º 135º
