If you rotate a 20-sided regular polygon by 360/20 degrees, the result will look the same as the original polygon. Any additional rotation will be a multiple of this number.
A dodecagon can be drawn by drawing a polygon with 12 sides and 12 angles. All sides and angles have to be equal. * * * * * The first sentence is correct, the second is utter nonsense. There is no reason for a dodecagon - or a polygon with any number of sides - to have equal sides or equal angles.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. For a 19-sided polygon, the sum of the interior angles would be (19-2) * 180 = 17 * 180 = 3060 degrees.
On March 30, 1796, Gauss discovered that it was possible to construct a regular polygon with seventeen sides using a straightedge and compass. This was the first new construction of a regular polygon since the time of Euclid. The discovery, made when Gauss was only eighteen years old, persuaded him to make mathematics his career.
The angles formed by one congruent side adjacent to the side not congrent to the first side
First of all, it is spelled perpindicular, not perpandiculer. Secondly, perpindicular lines are two lies that cross forming right angles, or 90 degree angles. For example, the two lines forming a plus sign are perpindicular.
First of all, a decagon is a polygon with 10 sides. A regular decagon is a decagon in which all of the sides and angles are equal. Since there are 360o in a complete rotation, you can simply divide 360o by 10. 360o / 10 = 36o
The answers are No and No. In the first case, a rhombus, and in the second, a rectangle are examples of quadrilaterals which satisfy the congruence requirements but neither is a regular polygon.
No, because there is no such thing as a "rhomus". Furthermore, a rhombus is not a regular polygon either. A regular polygon must have all its sides of equal length and all its angles of equal measure. A rhombus meets the first requirement but not the second and so is not regular.
Such a polygon is said to be a "regular" polygon, meaning that all its sides are equal and all its angles are equal, so we have; equilateral triangle; square; pentagon; hexagon; heptagon;octagon;nonagon;decagon - to give but the first nine possibilities. The next one would have 11 equal sides and angles, and I don't know its name.
yes* * * * *No! A polygon is regular if and only ifall its sides are of equal length andall its angles are of equal measure.Although a rhombus satisfies the first requirement, it does not satisfy the second. The only regular quadrilateral is a square.
Since a regular polygon is a series of straight lines of equal length that eventually join up with the start of the first line, this means that the sum of the angles between each line must sum to 360 degrees. If there are 6 sides in the polygon then the angle between each line is 360 degrees divided by 6 sides = 60 degrees.This kind of regular polygon with 6 sides of equal length has a special name, it is called a hexagon.
A polygon is a plane figure whose boundary is formed by straight lines. The simplest example is a triangle. A square, rectangle, kite, etc are common 4 sided polygons. Polygons can have angles that are greater than 180 degrees (reflex angles), so a 5 pointed star is a ten sided polygon. There is no limit to the number of sides a polygon can have. If all the sides and angles of a polygon have the same measures, it is called a regular polygon.
Not normally * * * * * Not true. A polygon is regular if and only if all sides are of equal length and all its angles are of equal measure. A rhombus satisfies the first requirement but, unless it is a square, it does not satisfy the second. So it cannot be regular.
Yes, a rhombus is a type of regular quadrilateral. A regular quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with all sides of equal length and all angles measuring 90 degrees. A rhombus fits this definition as it has all sides equal in length, making it a regular quadrilateral.
I'd have to see one first. So far, no polygon I've ever seen had more sides than angles.
It is a regular hexagon, a 6-sided polygon.The formula for calculating the identical interior angles of a regular n-sided polygon is 180(n-2)/nThe equivalent formula for each interior angle is 180 - (360/n) where 360/n is the measurement of any exterior angle, supplementary to the paired interior angle.180-120 = 360/n60 = 360/nn = 6---Sums of interior angles for the first 6 polygons:triangle = 180quadrilateral = 360pentagon = 540hexagon = 720heptagon = 900octagon = 1080
