Unit 4 Part 2 Regular Polygons
Polygons • Polygons are a enclosed flat (on the same plane) shape.
Names of Polygons • Triangle has 3 sides • Quadrilateral has 4sides • Pentagon has 5sides • Hexagon has 6sides • Heptagon has 7sides • Octagon has 8sides • Nonagon has 9sides • Decagon has 10sides • Hendecagon has 11sides • Dodecagon has 12sides
Regular Polygons • All angles are equiangular and all sides are equilateral. ( Meaning all the side and angles are the same size )
Polygons • To find the total number of degrees inside any polygon use the formula below.
Total degrees of Polygons • Triangle has 3 sides , 180 degrees • Quadrilateral has 4 sides , 360degrees • Pentagon has 5 sides , 540degrees • Hexagon has 6 sides , 720degrees • Heptagon has 7 sides , 900degrees • Octagon has 8 sides , 1080degrees • Nonagon has 9 sides , 1260degrees • Decagon has 10 sides , 1440degrees • Hendecagon has 11 sides , 1620degrees • Dodecagon has 12 sides , 1800degrees
Exterior angles of any polygon = 360° A E B D C
Exterior Angle of a Regular Polygon • To calculate a single exterior angle of a regular polygon use the formula below.
Examples • The name of the polygon WATER is a _____________ If ∠W =(3x +1)°, ∠A=(2x+9)°, ∠T=(2x+10)°, ∠E=(x+128)°, and ∠T=(x+131)°, then determine the size of each angle. • Solution A T W R E
Example • What is the size of an exterior angle of a Dodecagon?
