Vocabulary polygon regular polygon diagonal
A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments. A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are congruent and all angles are congruent. Polygons are named by the number of their sides and angles.
You can divide any quadrilateral into two triangles by drawing a diagonal, a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices. The sum of the interior angle measures in a triangle is 180°, so the sum of the interior angle measures in a quadrilateral is 360°.

1. Name the polygon and tell whether it appears to be regular or not regular. A. pentagon, not regular B. hexagon, regular C. heptagon, regular D. octagon, not regular
2. What is the measure of each angle in a regular decagon (10-sided figure)? A. 108 B. 144 C. 150 D. 140
The four angles create 360° 360 ÷ 4 = 90° Exterior angle is 90°
The five angles create 360° 360 ÷ 5 = 72° Exterior angle is 72°
Exterior angle = 360° ÷ number of angles
