Properties of Polygons

Each segment that forms a polygon is a side of the polygon

The common endpoint of the two sides is a vertex of the polygon.

A segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices is a.

Properties of Polygons

A regular polygon is one that is both equilateral and equiangular.

A polygon is concave if any part of a diagonal contains points in the exterior of the polygon.

If no diagonal contains points in the exterior, then the polygon is convex.

A regular polygon is always convex.

Name the polygon by its number of sides. Then classify it as convex or concave, regular or irregular.

There are 4 sides, so this is a quadrilateral.

No line containing any of the sides will pass through the interior of the quadrilateral, so it is convex.

The sides are not congruent, so it is irregular.

Answer: quadrilateral, convex, irregular

Name the polygon by its number of sides. Then classify it as convex or concave, regular or irregular.

There are 9 sides, so this is a nonagon.

A line containing some of the sides will pass through the interior of the nonagon, so it is concave.

The sides are not congruent, so it is irregular.

Answer: nonagon, concave, irregular

Answer: triangle, convex, regular

Polygon Exterior Angle Sum Theorem

The sum of the exterior angle measures, one angle at each vertex, of a convex polygon is 360.

Find the measure of each interior angle.

Since the sum of the measures of the interior angles is Write an equation to express the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the polygon.

Find the measure of each interior angle.

Answer:

Find the measures of an exterior angle and an interior angle of convex regular nonagon ABCDEFGHJ.

At each vertex, extend a side to form one exterior angle.

Conditions for Parallelograms

If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel and congruent, then the quadrilateral a parallelogram.

If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Conditions for Parallelograms

If an angle of a quadrilateral is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Determine whether the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Justify your answer.

Answer: Each pair of opposite sides have the same measure. Therefore, they are congruent. If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
