A polygon is a closed figure whose sides are line segments that intersect only at their endpoints. In a regular polygon , all the angles have the same measures and all the sides have the same length. Polygons can be indentified by the number of their sides Regular Polygons Not Polygons Polygons

Practice- Is the shape a polygon, a regular polygon or not a polygon? 1. 2. 3. Not a Polygon – The sides are not line segments. Regular Polygon – All the sides and angles have the same measure. Polygon – All the sides are line segments.

A vertex is a point where two sides meet. The interior angles of a polygon are the angles inside the polygon. A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment that joins two nonconsecutive vertices. Vertex What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral? Interior Angles Since the quadrilateral is made up of 2 triangles, the sum the angles is 2(180o) = 360o Diagonal

Sum of angle measures in an n-gon = (n-2) 180 You can use triangles to find these sum of the angle measures in other figures.

Remember, in a regular polygon, all the angles have the same measure. Hexagon 120 o Hexagon 120 o 120 o 6) Find the measure of one angle in a regular hexagon. (n-2)180 (6-2)180 (4)180 720 o 720 ÷ 6 = 120 o

Sum of an angle measures in an n-gon = (n-2) 180 Measure of one angle in a regular n-gon = (n-2) 180. n 8) Find the measure of one angle in a regular 14-gon. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree. 7) Find the measure of one angle in a regular octagon. A regular octagon has 8 sides, so n=8. A regular 14-gon has 14 sides, so n=14. = (n-2)180 n = (n-2)180 n = (8-2)180 8 = (14-2)180 14 = (6)180 8 = (12)180 14 = 1080 8 = 135 o = 2160 14 = 154.3 o One angle in a regular octagon is 135 o. One angle in a regular 14-gon is 154.3 o.
