What else can I help you with?
When constructing inscribed polygons how can you be sure the figure insrxibes is a regular polygon?
Each side will be equal in length
Is a quadrilateral a regular polygon?
Quadrilaterals are polygons. They can be regular or irregular.
The center of a regular polygon is the common center for the inscribed and circumscribed circles of the polygon?
Correct.
What is a regular polygon that tesselates?
There are only three regular polygons which can make a regular tessellation?
A Polygon whose vertices are on a circle and whose other points are inside the circle?
Inscribed Polygon

What does this mean when a circle is inscribed in a regular polygon?
Nothing particular. One of the properties of regular polygons - however many sides - is that it can have a circle inscribed in it.
When constructing inscribed polygon?
When constructing an inscribed polygon, you begin by drawing a circle, which will serve as the circumcircle for the polygon. Next, evenly divide the circumference of the circle into the desired number of equal segments, corresponding to the number of sides of the polygon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to form the inscribed polygon, ensuring that each vertex lies on the circumference of the circle. This method guarantees that the polygon is both regular and symmetrical.
How was the value of pi derived?
Historically one of the early methods of estimating the value of π was by taking a circle and inscribing and circumscribing a regular polygon (constructing a regular polygon inside and outside the circle- they knew how to do that mathematically 500 BC in Greece for a great number of polygons) They took the average of the circumferences of the polygons and divided that by the average of the diameters of the polygons to approximate a value for π.
Is a quadrilateral a regular polygon?
Quadrilaterals are polygons. They can be regular or irregular.
Polygons can be regular or irregular?
Yes, a regular polygon has all sides of equal length. An irregular polygon is any polygon that is not regular.
Which polygon will not tessellate a plane?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation.
A polygon with equal sides and angles?
They are regular polygons such as a square and an equilateral triangle
What polygon is always a regular polygon?
A square, pentagon, decagon, octagon are always regular polygons.
Is a concave polygon a regular polygon?
No, a concave polygon cannot be a regular polygon.
Which polygon does not tessellate and why?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation. However, for polygons with any number of sides, there are irregular versions that can tessellate.
How does a regular polygon differ from an irregular polygon?
regular polygons have all sides and angles congruent but irregular polygons only need to have a certain amount of sides
