Problem of the Day Jeffrey planted four carnations, three dahlias, seven marigolds, five cornflowers, one geranium, and four mums. He forgot to water them and on each of the two following days, half the remaining flowers died. How many flowers were still living at the end of the second day? 6 Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons

A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three or more segments. A polygon is named by the number of its sides. Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons

The pattern is that the number of triangles is always 2 less than the number of sides. So an n-gon can be divided into n – 2 triangles. The sum of the angle measures of any n-gon is 180°(n – 2). All the sides and angles of a regular polygon have equal measures. Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons

Additional Example 2A: Finding the Measure of Each Angle in a Regular Polygon Find the angle measures in the regular polygon. 6 congruent angles 6x° = 180°(6 – 2) 6x° = 180°(4) 6x° = 720° 6x° 66x° 6 720° 6 = x° = 120° Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons

Additional Example 2B: Finding the Measure of Each Angle in a Regular Polygon Find the angle measures in the regular polygon. 4 congruent angles 4y° = 180°(4 – 2) 4y° = 180°(2) 4y° = 360° y° = 90° 4y° 44y° 4 360° 4 = Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons

Quadrilaterals with certain properties are given additional names. A trapezoid has exactly 1 pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rectangle has 4 right angles. A rhombus has 4 congruent sides. A square has 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles. Course 3 7-4 Classifying Polygons
