G7 Math Q3-Week 5 - Polygons

This document defines polygons and their properties. It begins by stating the objectives of the lesson which are to define polygons, identify different types of polygons based on side lengths and angle measures, solve problems involving polygons, and apply theorems about angles. It then defines what a polygon is and distinguishes between convex and concave polygons. It discusses properties of polygons like consecutive vertices, sides, and angles. It defines diagonals of polygons and provides a theorem for calculating the number of diagonals. It categorizes polygons as equilateral, equiangular, or regular based on side lengths and angle measures. It concludes by acknowledging content ownership.

POLYGON

Objectives:
at the end of the lesson, students are
expected to:
a) Define name and determine a polygon.
b) Identify
a polygon according to the length of sides or
measures of angles.
c) Solves problems involving polygons.
d) Applythe different theorem of an angle to prove/solve
certain problem.
What is polygon?
The term polygon was derived from two
Greek words, polus meaning many and
gonos meaning angled. Combining these
terms,polygon literally means many
angles.
CONVEX POLYGON NON-C0NVEX OR CONCAVE POLYGON
 A convex polygon is defined as a polygon with  A concave polygon is defined as a polygon with
all its interior angles less than 180°. This
one or more interior angles greater than 180°.
means that all the vertices of the polygon will
It looks sort of like a vertex has been 'pushed
point outwards, away from the interior of the
in' towards the inside of the polygon.
shape.
Consecutive vertices – are vertices that are
contained in one side of a polygon.
Consecutive sides – are sides that have a
common endpoint.
Consecutive angles – are angles of a polygon that
have a common side.
A polygon is convex if and only if each side lies
on the edge of a half - plane containing the rest
of the polygon.
 Diagonal – is a line segment connecting two non-consecutive vertices of a polygon.

Polygon

Number of 0 2 5
diagonals
THEOREM 6-11 : the number of diagonals in a convex
polygon with n sides is given by the formula n(n-2).

Example:
A. Applying the formula we get:
1. Give the number of diagonals formed by the polygon.
 Decagon

Solution:
n= 10 , diagonals = n(n-3) = 10(10-3) = 35

polygon is involved.

 44

SOLUTION:
diagonals = n(n-3) →→→→→→ 0=n2-3n-88
2 0=(N+8) (N-1
44 = n(n-3) n=11, n = - 8
2 We choose n=11 → the polygon is undecagon
88 = n(n-3)
88 = – 3n
A polygon may also be categorized according to
lenths of sides or measures of angles
 Equilateral
– if and only if all of its sides are
congruent to one another.
 Equiangular– if and only if all of its angles are equal
to each other.
 Regular
– if and only if it is both equilateral and
equiangular.
REGULAR POLYGON IRREGULAR POLYGON
 A polygon in which all the sides are equal  A polygon in which not all the sides are equal
length and all the interior angles are equal. length or not all the interior angles are equal.
