Exploring Polygons By the end of class you will be able to: Identify Convex and Concave Polygons Name Parts of a Polygon Classify Polygons

Convex or Concave? A Polygon is a plane figure formed by three or more segments. A Polygon can either be convex or concave. If a polygon is convex then no sides go through the interior of the polygon. (All vertices point outside the polygon.) If a polygon is concave then it is not convex. A side goes through the interior of the polygon. (At least one vertex points inside the polygon.)

Classifying Polygons A Polygon is classified by its’ number of sides. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 nn - gon Dodecagon Decagon Nonagon Octagon Heptagon Hexagon Pentagon Quadrilateral Triangle Number of SidesType of Polygon

Example: The perimeter of the pentagon is 20. Solve for X. X+12X 2X-1 X + 6 X Remember what perimeter means The Sum of all the sides
20
Example: The perimeter of the pentagon is 20. Solve for X. X+12X 2X-1 X + 6 X (X+ 1) + (2X) +(X) + (2x-1) + (x+6 )= 20 Combine like terms and solve 7X + 6 = 20 7 X = 14 X = 2
