Vocabulary side of a polygon vertex of a polygon diagonal regular polygon concave convex

Each segment that forms a polygon is a side of the polygon Each segment that forms a polygon is a side of the polygon. The common endpoint of two sides is a vertex of the polygon. A segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices is a diagonal.

A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three or more segments that intersect only at their endpoints. Remember!

A polygon is concave if any part of a diagonal contains points in the exterior of the polygon. If no diagonal contains points in the exterior, then the polygon is convex. A regular polygon is always convex.

What do you notice about all of the convex polygons?

All the sides are congruent in an equilateral polygon All the sides are congruent in an equilateral polygon. All the angles are congruent in an equiangular polygon. A regular polygon is one that is both equilateral and equiangular. If a polygon is not regular, it is called irregular.

So what is a polygon? What are the properties of a polygon?

"Quadrilateral" is even more distinctive, since it not only comes from Latin but means "four sides" rather than "four angles"; and in fact we DO use the word "quadrangle" sometimes (and also "trilateral")

You can name a polygon by the number of its sides You can name a polygon by the number of its sides. The table shows the names of some common polygons.

To find the sum of the interior angle measures of a convex polygon, draw all possible diagonals from one vertex of the polygon. This creates a set of triangles. The sum of the angle measures of all the triangles equals the sum of the angle measures of the polygon.

Complete How Many Degrees Inside? By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 180°. Remember!

In each convex polygon, the number of triangles formed is two less than the number of sides n. So the sum of the angle measures of all these triangles is (n — 2)180°.

In the polygons below, an exterior angle has been measured at each vertex. Notice that in each case, the sum of the exterior angle measures is 360°.

An exterior angle is formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of a consecutive side. Remember!
