Examples Not Polygons
Convex Polygon – any polygon such that no line segment can be drawn between two vertices on the exterior of the polygon. Convex Not Convex
Regular Polygon – a polygon that is both equilateral and equiangular.
Diagonal – a segment joining two nonconsecutive vertices of a convex polygon.
Angle Measures in Polygons You can find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon by dividing a convex polygon into triangles – do this by drawing all diagonals from ONE vertex. 5 sided figure can be broken into 3 triangles. Therefore the sum of the angles would be 3 x 180 = 540
Angle Measures in Polygons If you try this several times, you can use INDUCTIVE REASONING to hypothesize that… 6 sided figure can be broken into 4 triangles. 4 x 180 = 720 4 sided figure can be broken into 2 triangles. 2 x 180 = 360
The sum of the measures of the angles of a convex polygon with n sides is (n – 2) x 180. A hexagon has 6 sides. What would the sum of the measures of the angles of a hexagon be? (6 – 2) x ° What would the measure of each angle be if the hexagon was regular? 720 6= 120
Exterior angle activity
The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 120° 60° 6(60) = °
