 Lesson Visualizing, identifying and
1 describing polygons with 5
or more sides
Mastery on polygons is not only an important part of mathematics, but it is
also an important part of daily living. It helps you become acquainted with the
applications of polygons in science, engineering, art, design and social studies.

Are you ready to explore the lesson? So, let’s proceed.

What’s In

Let us review the previous lesson. Can you still recall the steps on solving
routine problems and different methods/strategies on solving non-routine problems
involving percentage?

Let us consider the next word problem. We solve it using the steps on solving
routine problems.

Example 1

In a church organization with 100 members, each is required to donate 10%

from their monthly salary or any form of income which can be 3,000.00 pesos and
above. What is the maximum length of time it would take to save 1 500 000 pesos if
all of the 100 members contributed monthly?

Solution:

Understand the problem.

 Know what is asked.

We are asked to find the maximum length of time needed for the 100
church members to save 1.5M pesos.
 Know the given facts.
There are 100 members.
Each monthly salary/income of 3,000 pesos and above is with required
donation of 10%.
The target amount is 1.5 million pesos
Plan.

 Determine the operations to be used.

Multiplication and division are the needed operations.
 Write the number sentence.
0.10 x 3000 = N = percentage of the income

3 CO_Q3_Mathematics 5_ Module 6
 N x 100 = amount of donations per month
1,500,000 ÷ amount of donations per month = number of months to
complete the needed amount

Show your solution.

50
0.10 300 30000 1 500 000
x 3000 x 100 1 500 00
300.00 30000 0
0
0
Check and look back.

 Verify if your answer makes sense.

4.1666… 1 year = 12 months
30000 12 50.0000
4 years = 48 months
x 50 (months) 48
1 500 000 20 50 months
12
= 48 months + 2 months
80
72 = 4 years and 2 months
80
State the complete answer.

If each of the 100 members donated monthly and the minimum income is 3 000
pesos, then it will take a maximum of 50 months or 4 years and 2 months to
complete the 1.5 million pesos for the reconstruction of the church.

Try the next problem. Decide for yourself if you will use 2 or 3 strategies in solving
non-routine problem.

Example 2

Eric hosted a children’s party. He counted the persons who attended the event
and found out that 60% of 200 visitors were female. How many visitors were female?

You can solve by drawing an illustration first.

20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
6
In the given problem, 60% can also be represented in fractional form as
10
Since there were 200 persons who attended the party, we simply divide it into 10
regions. So, each regions represents 20 persons. If one shaded region represents 20
persons, then 6 shaded regions represents 120 persons. It means that 120 female
attended the children’s party.

 What’s New

In the previous lessons, you were taught on how to solve routine and non-
routine problems involving percentage. This module is going to teach and guide you
on how to visualize, identify and describe polygons with 5 sides or more.

Always remember that polygons are closed plane figures that are formed by
the line segments that meet only at their endpoints. The line segments are the sides.
The endpoints where the sides meet are the vertices.

Polygons are classified according to the number of their sides, vertices and
angles.

Example 3

Look at the images below. Let us consider them as representations of

polygons. Count the number of their sides.

1) 2) 3) 4)

5) 6) 7) 8)

5 CO_Q3_Mathematics 5_ Module 6
 What is It

Everyday, we encounter representations of polygons in many different forms,

colors and sizes, even in the streets or inside our homes. Thus, knowing and
identifying shapes and angles are not enough. It is also important to master the skills
in visualizing, naming and describing polygons with 5 sides or more, so that we can
easily recognize them wherever we go, in whatever form and shape they are having.

Remember that a three-sided polygon is called a triangle. A four-sided

polygon is called a quadrilateral. A five-sided polygon is called a pentagon. A
six-sided polygon is called a hexagon. A seven-sided polygon is called a
heptagon. An eight-sided polygon is called an octagon. A nine-sided polygon
is called a nonagon. A ten-sided polygon is called a decagon. An eleven-sided
polygon is called an undecagon. A twelve-sided polygon is called a dodecagon.
An n-sided polygon can be called n-gon.

Let us consider the following polygons. Write your answers on a separate

sheet of paper.

A B C

1) How many sides are there in each polygon?

2) How many angles are there in each polygon?
3) How many vertices are there in each polygon?
4) What can you say about the number of sides, angles and vertices of a
polygon?
5) Are the polygons the same?
6) If there are any similarities, what are they?
7) If there are any differences, what are they?
8) How are polygons identified?
9) In each polygon, how how many sides are there in each vertex?
10) Using your own words, describe a polygon.
