7. Each segment that forms a polygon is a _____________________
Each segment that forms a polygon is a _____________________. The common endpoint of two sides is a _____________________. A segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices is a _________.

8. 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.

9. Tell whether the figure is a polygon

14. _____________________- all the sides are congruent.
____________________- all the angles are congruent.
______________is one that is both equilateral and equiangular.

15. Equilateral Equiangular Regular

17. 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.

19. 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°.

20. Find the sum of the interior angle measures of a
convex heptagon.

21. Find the measure of each interior angle of pentagon ABCDE.

22. Find the sum of the interior angle measures of a convex 15-gon.

23. 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°.

24. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 20-gon.

25. Find the value of b in polygon FGHJKL.

26. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon.
