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?
Is a kite a regular polygon?
The definition of a regular polygons is a polygon that is both equiangular and equilateral. in a kite not all the sides are the same then its angles are not all equal then it is not a regular polygon.

Each side will be equal in length
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.
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
Is a square the only regular polygon?
There are an infinite number of regular polygons.
