A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more segments each segment meet with another segment at a vertex no two segments with a common endpoint are collinear. PolygonsNot Polygons

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

Polygon ABCDEF is a hexagon.

In an equilateral polygon all the sides are congruent. In a equiangular polygon all the angles are congruent A regular polygon is one that is both equilateral and equiangular, otherwise it is irregular.

A convex polygon has all of the vertices pointing outward. (no internal angles can be more than 180°). A regular polygon is always convex. When one of the vertices is pointing inward the it is a concave polygon. (If there are any internal angles greater than 180° then it is also concave). *Helpful(Think: concave has a "cave" in it)

Tell if it is convex or concave. Convex Concave ConvexConcave Convex

To find the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon, draw all the diagonals from one vertex of that polygon. This creates triangles and the sum of the angle measure of all the triangles created equals the sum of the angle measure of the polygon. Triangle Quadrilateral 1212 Pentagon Hexagon Octagon And more--- n-gon

In each convex polygon, the number of triangles is two less than the number of sides n. So the sum of the angle measure of all these triangles is (n-2)180. Theorem The sum of the interior angle measures of a convex polygon with n sides is (n-2)180. So for example in a quadrilateral—(4-2)=2*180=360 is what all the angles measure in a quadrilateral. To find the measure of each angle you divide the sum of the interior angle by the number of sides of the polygon.

1. Sum of an Pentagon interior angle measures: (n-2)180 (5-2)180 3* ° 2. Measure of Nonagon interior angle: (n-2)180 (9-2)180 = 1260° A D 1260°/9 = 140° each interior angle of a nonagon. 3.Find the measure of each interior angle in the fountain. (4-2)180 = 360 B m<A+ m<B + m<C+ m<D = 360 C x + 5x + x +5x =360 12x = 360 x = 30 m<A = m< C = 30° m<B = m<D = 150° x° 5x°

The sum of the exterior angle with one angle at each vertex is always 360° in a convex polygon. (Hint: Usually you add the exterior angle going clockwise in the convex polygon.) = =

First of all a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. It follows some properties that they will be shown on the next page. The symbol of a parallelogram is B A C D AB || CD, BC|| DA Parallelogram ABCD ABCD Here is the first property, by the definition of a parallelogram you can conclude: -If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then it has two pairs of parallel sides. Converse: If a quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides, then it is as parallelogram.
