What is the definition of central angle of a regular polygon?
an angle whose vertex is the center of the polygon and whose sides pass through adjacent vertices.
What can you conclude about the angles inside a regular polygon?
Theorem: The sum of the interior angles in a polygon with n sides is 180º(n - 2).In the pentagon below, we have labeled the interior angles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Each of these is supplementary respectively to exterior angles 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Therefore we have: We know that angles 1 through 5 in a pentagon have a sum of 540º. We substitute 540º for these angles and we have:. Subtracting 540º from both sides, we can find the sum of the five exterior angles of this pentagon: .
What are the different kinds of polygons?
Some examples are:Triangle, 3 side and 180 degrees of internal anglesQuadrilateral, 4 sides and 360 degrees of internal anglesPentagon, 5 sides and 540 degrees of internal anglesHexagon, 6 sides and 720 degrees of internal anglesHeptagon, 7 sides and 900 degres of internal anglesOctagon, 8 sides and 1080 degrees of internal anglesAll polygons have a total sum of 360 degrees of external angles.Polygons can be classified into different kinds depending on certain characteristics like:Convex: any line drawn through the polygon meets its boundary exactly twice.Non-convex: a line may be found which meets its boundary more than twice.Simple: the boundary of the polygon does not cross itself.Concave: non-convex and simple.Star-shaped: the whole interior is visible from a single point, without crossing any edge.Self-intersecting: the boundary of the polygon crosses itself.Star polygon: a polygon which self-intersects in a regular way.Triangle - has 3 sidesQuadrilateral - has 4 sidesPentagon - has 5 sidesHexagon - has 6 sidesHeptagon - has 7 sidesOctagon - has 8 sidesNonagon - has 9 sidesDecagon - has 10 sidesDodecagon - has 12 sidesA polygon can have any number of sides that can enclose an area, beginning with a triangle (3). You can have as many sides in polygon that you want. Tetragon (square), pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon, undecagon, dodecagon, triangle, and a quadriliateral. That's all the "named" polygons, but you can have a polygon with 100 sides if you want! The root 'Poly' just means 'many'. A polygon can not have intersecting lines, curved lines, less than three sides, and no gaps. A polygon has to follow those rules but it can be whatever shape that you want it to be!triangle, quadrilateral,pentagon,hexagon,heptagon,octagon,nonagon,decagon,undecagon,dodecagonPolygons can be classified into different kinds depending on certain characteristics like: Convex: any line drawn through the polygon meets its boundary exactly twice.Non-convex: a line may be found which meets its boundary more than twice.Simple: the boundary of the polygon does not cross itself.Concave: non-convex and simple.Star-shaped: the whole interior is visible from a single point, without crossing any edge.Self-intersecting: the boundary of the polygon crosses itself.Star polygon: a polygon which self-intersects in a regular wayPolygons can be classified into different kinds depending on certain characteristics like:Convex: any line drawn through the polygon meets its boundary exactly twice.Non-convex: a line may be found which meets its boundary more than twice.Simple: the boundary of the polygon does not cross itself.Concave: non-convex and simple.Star-shaped: the whole interior is visible from a single point, without crossing any edge.Self-intersecting: the boundary of the polygon crosses itself.Star polygon: a polygon which self-intersects in a regular way.Triangle - has 3 sidesQuadrilateral - has 4 sidesPentagon - has 5 sidesHexagon - has 6 sidesHeptagon - has 7 sidesOctagon - has 8 sidesNonagon - has 9 sidesDecagon - has 10 sidesDodecagon - has 12 sidesAll polygons have a total sum of 360 degrees of external angles.
How many lines of symmetry does a regular polygon with 32 sides have?
32. 16 through opposite vertices and 16 through the centres of opposite sides.
How do you determine that the triangle is a right triangle through the 3 vertices?
If one of the three interior angles is 90 degrees then it is a right triangle.
A polygon has the property that there is a line which contains a side of the polygon and passes through the interior of the polygon?
Concave
What kind of polygon has the property that no line containing a side of a polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
It is a convex polygon.
What polygon has the property that no line containing a side of the polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
convex TeTe <3
What is the name of a polygon with no side that passes through the figures interior?
Convex polygon. When the sides are extended, none of them pass through the polygon's interior.
Which term describes a polygon in which no line containing a side of the polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
convex
What is a term that best describes a polygon in which no line containing the side of the polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
Convex.
What term describe a polygon in which at least two lines containg sides of the polygon that will pass through the interior of the polygon?
A concave polygon.
Which term describe a polygon in which at least two lines containing side of the polygon will pass through interior of the polygon?
concave
Which term describes a polygon in which at least two lines containing sides of the polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
concave
What is the difference between alternate interior angles and interior angles?
An interior angle is an angle defined by two sides of a polygon and that is inside the polygon. Opposite interior angles are specific pairs of interior angles, those that are opposite each other in the polygon. Alternate or opposite interior angles are also angles that lie on opposte sides of the tranversal line that cuts through parallel lines.
Is a square with a line through a polygon?
No.
What are the two classification of polygon?
Convex: any line drawn through the polygon (and not tangent to an edge or corner) meets its boundary exactly twice.Non-convex: a line may be found which meets its boundary more than twice.Simple: the boundary of the polygon does not cross itself. All convex polygons are simple.Concave: Non-convex and simple.Star-shaped: the whole interior is visible from a single point, without crossing any edge. The polygon must be simple, and may be convex or concave.hope it can help you :)
