1 Geometry 11.4 Areas of Regular Polygons

2 Definitions Regular polygon- a polygon that is equiangular and equilateral. In the upper right side of your paper, please draw a regular triangle, a regular quadrilateral, a regular hexagon, and a regular octagon. New words for the vocab list. Also add median of a trapezoid.

3 Definitions Center- the center of the circle that circumscribes the polygon. Find the center of each polygon, you may or may not want to draw the circumscribed circle.. center. center. center. center

4 Definitions Radius- the segment from the center to a vertex of the polygon. Draw one radii of each regular polygon..... r r r r

5 Definitions Central angle- the angle formed by two consecutive radii. Draw one central angle of each regular polygon..... Measure of a central angle = 360/n n is the number of sides 360/3 Find the measure of each central angle. 120 o 360/4 90 o 360/6 60 o 360/8 45 o Many opportunities to use your skills of Pythagorean Theorem, 45-45-90, and 30-60-90 right triangles!

6 Definitions Apothem- The distance (perpendicular) from the center to a side of the polygon. Draw one apothem of each regular polygon..... a a a a

7 Area of a Regular Polygon A = ½ a p apothem perimeter WHY?. apothem x Area of the green triangle = ½ apothem(x) x x x x x The regular hexagon is made up of 6 green triangles. Area of the regular hexagon = ½ apothem(6x) Area of the regular hexagon = ½ apothem(perimeter) This is true for all regular polygons.
