Lesson 1-6 Polygons
Ohio Content Standards:
Formally define geometric figures.
Ohio Content Standards: Use coordinate geometry to represent and examine the properties of geometric figures.
Ohio Content Standards: Make and test conjectures about characteristics and properties (e.g., sides, angles, symmetry) of two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects.

Perimeter:
Vocabulary Perimeter: The sum of the lengths of the polygons sides.
A masonry company is contracted to lay three layers of decorative brick along the foundation for a new house given the dimensions below.
40 ft 36 ft 12 ft 24 ft 36 ft 30 ft 8 ft 30 ft
A masonry company is contracted to lay three layers of decorative brick along the foundation for a new house given the dimensions below. 40 ft 36 ft 12 ft 24 ft 36 ft 30 ft 8 ft 30 ft Find the perimeter of the foundation and determine how many bricks the company will need to complete the job. Assume one brick is 8 inches long.
A masonry company is contracted to lay three layers of decorative brick along the foundation for a new house given the dimensions below. 40 ft 36 ft 12 ft 24 ft 36 ft 30 ft 8 ft 30 ft The builder realizes he accidentally halved the size of the foundation, so he reworks the drawing with the correct dimensions. How will this affect the perimeter of the house and the number of bricks needed?
Find the perimeter of pentagon ABCDE with A(0, 4), B(4, 0), C(3, -4), D(-3, -4), and E(-3, 1).
