  1. Regular Polygons Lesson 7.4: Recognize regular polygons. Use formulas to find measure of an exterior angle of an equiangular polygon.

  2. Define regular polygon…

  3. Regular Polygons:Equilateral and equiangular

  4. Theorem 58: The measure E of each exterior angle of an equiangular polygon of n sides is given by the formula • E = 360 n

  5. Find m1 in the figure below m1 = 360 5 m1 = 72 1 Theorem 58: The measure E of each exterior angle of an equiangular polygon of n sides is given by the formula E = 360 n

  6. Problem #1: 1. How many degrees in each exterior  of an equiangular heptagon? E = 360 7 = 51 3/7

  7. Problem #2: 2. If the exterior angle of a polygon is 18, how many sides does the polygon have? E = 360 n 18 = 360 Plug in 18 for E n 18n = 360 Multiply both sides by n n = 20 sides Divide by 18

  8. Problem #3: 3. If each angle of a polygon is 108, how many sides does it have? First find the exterior angle. 180º - 108º = 72º Set up with correct formula: E = 360 72n = 360 n = 5 The polygon has 5 sides. n

  9. Problem #4: 4. Given the stop sign shown, is NTE scalene, isosceles, equilateral or undetermined? O I T Isosceles N S Q U E
