SECTION 11.3 (PART 1) AREAS OF CIRCLES AND REGULAR POLYGONS 5/1/14

Slide 4

Learning Goals for Day 1 of 11.3 You will all be able to: Define a polygon and use prefixes that describe polygons according to their number of sides Compute the area of a circle Define our new vocabulary word of the day! Use what you know about perimeters and common area formulas to compute the area of a Regular Polygon Compute areas of shaded regions within another polygon or circle

Slide 5

What is a polygon? Polygon The word "polygon" derives from the Greek words poly (many) and gonu (knee). So a polygon is a thing with many knees! It must have straight edges that connect at vertices. Polygons can be concave or convex and irregular or regular. Regular all sides congruent Today we will just be focusing on REGULAR Polygons (Specifically equilateral triangles, squares, & hexagons)

Slide 6

Polygon Prefixes PrefixMeaning (# of sides) Tri - 3 Quad -4 Penta -5 Hexa -6 Hepta -7 Octa(o) -8 Nona -9 Deca -10 Poly -Many

Slide 7

Fun Fact: The more sides a polygon has, the more circular it becomes!

Slide 8

Area of a Circle Area of = times the (radius)

Slide 9

Example #1: Find the exact Area of C, which has a diameter of 14 cm. C A = r A = (7cm) A = 49cm Dont forget your units and that they are squared, because its an area problem!!!

Slide 10

Lets Break Down a Regular Polygon A regular polygon with n sides is comprised of n congruent, isosceles triangles. The base of each triangle is one side of the polygon. The two congruent legs of each isosceles triangle are considered the radii of the polygon. The radii start from the center point and end at each vertex. The height of each triangle is called an apothem.

Slide 11

Central Angles of Regular Polygons The central angles of a regular polygon are all congruent and add up to 360 (Central Sum Theorem ) To find the measure of one central angle, use the following formula: One Central = 360 n n being the number of sides the polygon has

Slide 12

Example #2: Find the central angle for each regular polygon: A.B. Central = 360 10 Central = 36 Central = 360 6 Central = 60 n = 10 n = 6

Slide 13

New Vocabulary Word of the Day! Apothem a line segment drawn from the center of a polygon perpendicular to one of its sides, bisecting that side and the central angle. *** It is a PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR! *** Sounds like . A Opossum

Slide 14

Why is the Apothem Important? The apothem is needed when finding the area of a regular polygon. (Its the height of each isos. in the polygon) The formula for the area of a regular polygon is: A = the apothem times the perimeter or You can think of area of the entire polygon as _____________________ up the area of all of the ___________________ ________________ that make up the polygon; hence using the PERIMETER! The perimeter is just the base of each triangle added together!!! ADDING ISOSCELESTRIANGLES

Slide 15

When finding the Area of a Regular Polygon. You might be given just the perimeter, or one side length, or the apothem, or the radius Or you may be given a combination of these facts. (Best case scenario is where you are given the perimeter/or side length, and the apothem because you are given everything for the Area formula!) Depending on what you are given, just reminder that you always have the central angles to rely on and the fact that the apothem bisects this angle and the side length.

Slide 17

Example #3: Find the area of the following regular polygon with a radius of 4 cm. ** What do we still need in order to find the area? 4 cm A = a P Central = 3603 = 120 Apothem bisects each central angle, so 120 2 = 60 each a 60 4cm 30 A = aP A = (2cm)(12 cm) A = 12 cm One side length = 4 cm P = 3(4 cm) = 12 cm 2 cm 2 cm

Slide 18

Example #4: Find the area of the following regular polygon: A = a P A = a 60cm 60 30 60 A = 5 cm 60cm A = 150 cm 5cm 60 30

Slide 19

Example #5: A square is circumscribed about a circle. Find the area of the shaded region if the circle has a radius of 8m: 16m 8m Area of Shaded Region = Area - Area Area = (16m)(16m) = 256 m Area = ( 8m) = 64 m Area = (256 64) m
