  1. Four-Sided Polygons Lesson 5.4

  2. Polygons: • Plane figures • Many sided figures • Straight line segments • Consecutive sides intersect at endpoints • Each vertex belongs to only two sides

  3. Is this a polygon? 1. 1. EFGH is not a polygon because it is not entirely made up of straight segments. 2. 2. ABCDE is not a polygon because nonconsecutive sides do not intersect.

  4. Is this a polygon? 3. 3. PKMO, PKMOR and POR are polygons but PKMOPRO is not because each vertex must belong to exactly two sides. 4. 4. SVTY is a polygon but SVTXY is not because consecutive sides must be noncollinear.

  5. Is this a polygon? 5. PLAN is not a polygon because it is an open figure. 5. 6. 6. Yes, these are all polygons.

  6. Name polygons by their sides, either clockwise or counter clock wise. Convex Polygons: A polygon in which each interior angle has a measure less than 180 degrees. • no yes

  7. Diagonals: a diagonal of a polygon is any segment that connects two non-consecutive (nonadjacent) vertices of a polygon.

  8. Quadrilaterals: 4 sided polygons. • Parallelogram: both pairs of opposite sides are parallel • Rectangle: a parallelogram with at least one right angle • Rhombus: a parallelogram with at least two consecutive sides are congruent • Kite: two disjointed pairs of consecutive sides are congruent • Square: parallelogram that is a rectangle and a rhombus

  9. Trapezoid: a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid. • Isosceles trapezoid: trapezoid in which non-parallel sides (legs) are congruent. Base angles are lower and upper base angles.
