Lesson 1.6 Classify Polygons
Objective • Classify Polygons
Standard • 12.0 – Students find and use measures of sides and of interior and exterior angles of triangles and polygons to classify figures and solve problems.
Academic Language • Polygon • Convex • Concave • n-gon • Equilateral • Equiangular • regular
Polygon • A figure formed by 3 or more line segments called sides and can only intersect at most one other side. • Each endpoint of a side of a polygon is a vertex • Polygons can be named by listing vertices in consecutive order
Convex Polygon • A polygon where no side contains an interior point of the polygon • A polygon that is not convex is called non-convex polygon or ……. Concave polygon
Classify Polygons • Named by the number of sides
n-gon • General polygon • Can be used to name any polygon Example 14 sides 14-gon
Equilateral Polygon • All sides are congruent
Equiangular Polygon • All angles in the interior of the polygons are congruent
Regular Polygon • Convex polygon that is both equiangular and equilateral
