The area of a regular heptagon can be found by breaking the heptagon into seven congruent triangles and then taking the sum of their areas?

yes True


How do you make a heptagon out of six equilateral triangles?

Well, isn't that just a happy little challenge! To make a heptagon out of six equilateral triangles, you can start by arranging the triangles in a circular pattern with their edges touching. Then, you can add a seventh equilateral triangle on top to complete the shape. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents in art!


How many triangle fit in a hexagon?

That would depend on which hexagon and what triangles. A small hexagon might not have room for any large triangles. A large hexagon will have room fro many small triangles.If you have a regular hexagon and connect the vertices you will have drawn six equilateral triangles


Given a regular heptagon how many obtuse angled triangles are there?

there are 14 obtuse angled triangles. to work this out, join all the vertices together, making a 7-pointed star. then count all the obtuse-angled triangles. i got 14...you might get a different answer, if so, i apologise. lol i know where u got this question from... anyway hoped i helped :)


Can regular heptagons and equalateral triangle tile a flat surface?

Equilateral triangles can tile a plane, but regular heptagons cannot; nor can they tile the plan together. Where vertices meet (at a point on the plane) there is a complete turn of 360°. Each vertex of an equilateral triangle is 60°; 360° ÷ 60° = 6, a whole number of times, so a whole number of equilateral triangles can meet at a vertex of the tiling. Each vertex of a regular heptagon is 128 4/7°; 360° ÷ 128 4/7° = 2 4/5 which is not a whole number, so a whole number of regular heptagons cannot meet at a vertex of the tiling, so there will be gaps. With one regular heptagon there are 360° - 128 4/7° = 232 3/7°, but this cannot be divided by 60° a whole number of times, so one regular heptagon and some equilateral triangles cannot meet at a vertex of the tiling without gaps. With two regular heptagons there are 360° - 2 x 128 4/7° = 102 6/7°, but this cannot be divided by 60° a whole number of times, so two regular heptagons and some equilateral triangles cannot meet at a vertex of the tiling without gaps. With three or more regular heptagons, they will overlap when trying to place them on a plane around a point - leaving no space for any equilateral triangles.

Does regular heptagon tessellate?

True * * * * * No. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are a triangle, a square and a heagon. So a regular heptagon will not tessellate.

If, by longer, you mean larger, the answer is a heptagon.


Why is a triangle a regular polygon?

This question is based on a misunderstanding of facts. A triangle can be but need not be a regular polygon. In fact most triangles are not regular: only equilateral triangles are.
