For a regular polygon, all sides are equal and all angles are equal. Draw a regular hexagon. This website shows you an easy way to draw a hexagon with a compass. http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Hexagon
Draw a line from one vertex to another going thru the center. This should make 2 identical triangles. Do this, until you have 6 triangles. Use a protractor to measure the 6 angles in the center and the base angles. They should each be 60º angles. Two of these adjacent base angles measure 120º. This is the vertex angle. There are 6 vertices, 6 sides, 6 - 60º angles in the center, and 6 - 120º angles at the 6 vertices.
1. If a polygon has n sides, there will be n angles at the center, n vertices and n triangles.
2. Draw the 5 lines connecting each vertex to the center of the polygon making 5 angles.
Two adjacent base angles = one vertex angle.
The vertex angle = 2 * (180º - (360 º÷ n) ÷ 2, which means you do not have to divide by 2. You can stop at step #6.
Now let's try a sample problem. Here is a site for constructing a pentagon. http://www.kjmaclean.com/Geometry/PentConstruct.html
Find the relationship between a pentagon's number of sides and its number of vertices and angles? Since a penta means 5, a pentagon has 5 sides, 5 vertices, and 5 angles. Now let's find the vertex angle.
From small to greatest
The fact that corresponding angles are congruent does not require corresponding sides to be proportional - except in the case of a triangle. For quadrilaterals, think of a square and rectangle.
As for all polygons the exterior angles add up to 360 degrees
all regular polygons (such as a pentagon) have the sum of their exterior angles = 360 degrees
360 degrees as is with all other polygons!
Polygons will be similar if they have the same number of sides AND all of their angles are the same. All of their angles are the same if all but one of their angles are the same because with the same number of sides the angles must add up to the same thing. All squares are similar (4 right angles and sides of equal lenght). All rectangles are similar (4 right angles). We know two triangle are similar if two or mare angles are the same, or if one angle is the same and the two adjacent sides are the same length. Variations of this last proof may apply to some other polygons.
It is the singular of the plural vertices relating to angles of polygons
Polygons always have the same amount of sides and angles, as if you have, for example, 4 sides, you will have 4 vertices, and 4 vertices means 4 angles.
An interior angle and the corresponding exterior angle add up to a straight angle. that is, they are supplementary.
They are all polygons and they are shapes they all have sides and vertices. They all have a measure like how squares have 90 degrees angles.
Angles are measured by degree and vertices happen when two sides meet, and aren't measured.
Angles are the degree measure between the two rays that make an angle. Vertices are the point in which the two rays meet to create that angle.
No only regular polygons have congruent angles.
You classify a quadrilateral by its sides, angles, and its vertices. All quadrilaterals are 4-sided polygons having 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.
Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).
It has 20 vertices or angles. * * * * * No! A dodecagon has 12 vertices. A polygon with 20 vertices is an icosagon.
Convex polygons with congruent sides and congruent angles are called regular polygons.
Angles cannot be equiangular: the latter is a property of polygons. Equiangular polygons are ones in which all the angles are equal.
