7.4 Regular Polygons Recognize regular polygons Use formulas to find measure of an exterior angle of an equiangular polygon
Regular Polygons: Equilateral and equiangular
T58: The measure E of each exterior angle of an equiangular polygon of n sides is given by the formula E = 360 n
Find m<1 in the figure below 1 m<1 = m<1 = 72 T58: The measure E of each exterior angle of an equiangular polygon of n sides is given by the formula E = 360 n
Problems: 1. How many degrees in each exterior < of an equiangular heptagon? E = = 51 3/7
2. If the exterior angle of a polygon is 18 , how many sides does the polygon have? E = 360 n 18 = 360 n 18n = 360 n = 20 sides Plug in 18 for E Multiply both sides by n Divide by 18
3. If each angle of a polygon is 108 , how many sides does it have? First find the exterior angle = 72 Set up with correct formula: E = 360 n solve
Remember to show your work! 72 = 72n = 360 n = 5 The shape has 5 sides.
Given the stop sign shown, is NTE scalene, isosceles, equilateral or undetermined? OI N T S EU Q isosceles
