A regular polygon is a polygon which is equiangular (all angles are the same) and equilateral (all sides have the same length).

How can you tell a regular polygon is a regular polygon?

Each of the sides are the same length, and each of the internal angles are identical.


How do you tell if a polygon is a regular polygon?

A regular polygon is one that has all congruent sides ANDall equal inside angles.A rhombus doesn't qualify. All of its sides are the same length, but it's anglesare not all the same size.


A polygon will be dilated on a coordinate grid to create a smaller polygon. The polygon is dilated using the origin as center of dilation. Which rule could represent this dilation?

Find the size of each interior angle of 6 sided regular polygon?

To answer this question, you need to know a few things, which you probably know already:Any two angles formed by a straight line and a line coming off it in any direction will add to 180 degrees.There are 360 degrees in a circle.In a regular polygon, all of the interior angles will be equal. (I'm sure there's no need to tell you what an interior angle is)Now, if you think about it, in order for the hexagon (in other words, your 6-sided regular polygon; I'm going to call it a hexagon because it's shorter) be complete, the line that forms the outside of it has to go all the way around in a sort of circle. If you imagine that each side of the hexagon extends out in one direction, like a pinwheel, then the total of those small outside angles is 360 degrees.There are 6 of those angles, so 360 divided by 6 gives 60 degrees per Exterior Angle in a hexagon.Now, notice that there is one of these Exterior Angles per Interior Angle, and that the two add to 180 degrees (for the reasons stated above).So, 180 minus 60 gives 120 degrees per interior angle!This method works for all regular polygons. There is another method as well: The total of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Pick one vertex (corner) of the polygon and draw lines from it to all the other vertices. Count the number of triangles you see, and multiply that number by 180. This gives you the sum of the interior angles in that polygon. Then, if it's regular, divide by the number of interior angles to give you the value of each interior angle.Remember that both of these methods only work when the polygon is regular.WikipediaWictionaryChambers (UK)Google imagesGoogle defineThe Free DictionaryJoin exampleWordNetGoogleUrban DictionaryAnswers.comrhymezone.comMerriam-Webster0wvcidfjoguarm

Name each polygon tell if it appears to be a regular polygon?

It is not possible to name each polygon since there are infinitely many of them. There is no relationship between whether a polygon is regular and the number of sides or angles that it has. So, there is no way to determine, from its name, if a polygon is regular.

How can you tell whether a polygon is a convex?

A polygon (or any other plane shape) is convex if you take any two points inside it (or on its boundary) then the line joining those points is wholly inside (or on the boundary of) the polygon.


How do you classify things?

You tell what something is if you classify it.


Explain how to tell whether a polygon is a convex?

If, for any two points A and B in the polygon, all points with position A + kB are inside the polygon for 0 ≤ k ≤ 1, then the polygon is convex. In simple terms, if all points on the line AB lie inside the polygon, it is convex. If there is at least one point on AB that is outside the polygon then it is not a convex polygon.

How do you figure the perimeter of a polygon with an area of 72?

I can not tell you. It is because i do not know what shape the polygon is. You must tell me that first.


How can you tell if a regular polygon will tessellate?

If you subtract two from the amount of sides there are in the polygon than mutiply that by 180 you than divide that number by the original amount of sides there was by 360 and if it goes into it without a decimal it tessalates. Ex. (10-2)180/360
