  1. Polygons The word ‘polygon’ is a Greek word. Poly means many and gon means angles.

  2. Polygons • The word polygon means “many angles” • A two dimensional object • A closed figure Polygons

  3. More about Polygons • Made up of three or more straight line segments • There are exactly two sides that meet at a vertex • The sides do not cross each other Polygons

  4. Examples of Polygons Polygons

  5. These are not Polygons Polygons

  6. Terminology Side: One of the line segments that make up a polygon. Vertex: Point where two sides meet. Polygons

  7. Vertex Side Polygons

  8. Interior angle: An angle formed by two adjacent sides inside the polygon. • Exterior angle: An angle formed by two adjacent sides outside the polygon. Polygons

  9. Exterior angle Interior angle Polygons

  10. Let us recapitulate Exterior angle Vertex Side Diagonal Interior angle Polygons

  11. Types of Polygons • Equiangular Polygon: a polygon in which all of the angles are equal • Equilateral Polygon: a polygon in which all of the sides are the same length Polygons

  12. Regular Polygon: a polygon where all the angles are equal and all of the sides are the same length. They are both equilateral and equiangular Polygons

  13. Examples of Regular Polygons Polygons

  14. A convex polygon: A polygon whose each of the interior angle measures less than 180°. If one or more than one angle in a polygon measures more than 180° then it is known as concave polygon. (Think: concave has a "cave" in it) Polygons

  15. IN TERIOR ANGLES OF A POLYGON Polygons

  16. Let us find the connection between the number of sides, number of diagonals and the number of triangles of a polygon. Polygons

  42. No matter what type of polygon we have, the sum of the exterior angles is ALWAYS equal to 360º. Sum of exterior angles = 360º Polygons

  43. In a regular polygon with ‘n’ sides Sum of interior angles = (n -2) x 1800 Exterior Angle + Interior Angle =1800 Each exterior angle = 3600/n No. of sides = 3600/exterior angle Polygons

  44. Let us explore few more problems • Find the measure of each interior angle of a polygon with 9 sides. • Ans : 1400 • Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular decagon. • Ans : 360 • How many sides are there in a regular polygon if each interior angle measures 1650? • Ans : 24 sides • Is it possible to have a regular polygon with an exterior angle equal to 400 ? • Ans : Yes Polygons
