Describe what a polygon is. Include a discussion about the parts of a polygon. Also compare and contrast a convex with a concave polygon. Compare and contrast equilateral and equiangular. Give 3 examples of each. • A polygonisanyplane figure wth 3 or more sides • A concavepolygonis a polygonthat has anglespointingintothe center of the figure. • A convexpolygonis a polygonthat has all of itsverticespointingout. • Anequilanularpolygonis a polygonwiththreecongreuntangles. • Anequidisitantisthesamedistancefromtwoor more objects.
Explain the Interior angles theorem for quadrilaterals. Give at least 3 examples. • The exterior anlges of everypolygonhavetoadd up to 360. • Polygonsumtheorem (n-2)180= anglesum of anypolygon
Describe the 4 theorems of parallelograms and their converse and explain how they are used. Give at least 3 examples of each. • Anyquadrilaterallwithoppsitesidesparalleltoeachother • oppositesides are alsocongruent • oppositeangles are congruenttoeachother, • adjacent are suplementary. • The diagonalsbisecteachother.
Describe how to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Include an explanation about theorem 6.10. Give at least 3 examples of each. 1) If a quadrilateral has one pair of sides that are both parallel and congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. 2) If a the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then then quadrilateral is a parallelogram. 3) Opposites sides are parallel. 4) Opposite angles are congruent 5) Diagonals bisect each other.
Compare and contrast a rhombus with a square with a rectangle. Describe the rhombus, square and rectangle theorems. Give at least 3 examples of each. • a squareis a quadrilateralwith 4 congruentsides and 4 right angles. • A rhombusis a parallelogramthat has 4 congruentsides • A rectangleisanyparallelogranwith 4 right angles. • if a quadrilaterallis a rhombusthenitis a parallelogram • If a parallelogramis a rhombusthenitsdiagonals are perpendicular ahdeach diagonal bisects a pair of oppositeangles • If a quadrilateralis a rectangletheitis a parallelogram and itsdiagonals are congruent
