Activity
Part 4A (5 minutes)
Stem
. for Items 1 and 2

Chris is building a new garden. He


knows that each exterior angle of a
regular polygon measures , where 𝑛
is the number of sides of the
polygon. He starts by marking on
the ground a regular hexagon of
side length 4 meters and completes
the design by adding a regular
pentagon as shown in Diagram 1
Questions By considering Diagram 1:
1.
.
Find the size of each exterior angle ( 𝑥°) and
of each interior angle (𝑦°) of the hexagon.
Exterior angle of a regular polygon = , where 𝑛 is the number of
sides of the polygon
Exterior angle of a regular hexagon (six sides) =
=

Therefore, each exterior angle of a regular hexagon = 60°


1.
.
Find the size of each exterior angle ( 𝑥°) and
of each interior angle (𝑦°) of the hexagon.
𝑥° + 𝑦° = 180° (𝑥° and 𝑦° together make a straight
angle)
𝑦° = 180° − 60°
= 120°
Therefore, each interior angle of a regular
hexagon = 120°
2.
.
Find the length of the timber edging
needed for the outside border of the whole
garden.
Length of the timber edging needed for
outside border = (5 × 4) m (hexagonal part of
garden)
+(4 × 4) m (pentagonal part of garden)
= 36 m
.3. Find the sum of all of the interior angles of
the garden
Each exterior angle of pentagon=
=
= 72°

Therefore, each interior angle = 180° − 72° =


108°.
3. Find the sum of all of the interior angles of
.
the garden
The sum of all of the interior angles of the
garden is equivalent to the sum of all of the
interior angles of the hexagon and pentagon.

Therefore, the sum of all of the interior angles


of the garden = (6 × 120°) + (5 × 108°)
= 1260°.
.
Chris then decides to create 7
separate garden beds,
including 5 triangular beds, by
adding some interior straight
borders to his design, as shown
in Diagram 2. He knows that
the diagonal borders in the
hexagonal part of the garden
bisect the interior angles of
the hexagon
1.
.
What types of triangle are the three
triangular beds within the pentagonal part of
the garden?
Two of the triangles each have two sides that
are equal sides of the regular pentagon. By
symmetry in the regular pentagon, the third
triangle also has two equal sides. Therefore,
all three triangles are isosceles triangles.
2. Find the value of 𝑎 and the type of triangle inside
.
the hexagonal part of the garden.
Since the diagonal borders in the hexagonal part of
the garden bisect the interior angles of the hexagon,
the other two angles in the triangle containing the
angle 𝑎° are equal and measure = 60°.
Therefore, 𝑎° = 180° − (2 × 60°)
= 60°
𝑎 = 60
Since all three angles of the triangle measure 60°,
the triangle is equilateral
3. Chris has measured the new interior border 𝐴B to
.
be 6.5 m. Calculate the total length of timber edging
needed for all of the new interior borders of the
garden
Since 𝐴B = 6.5 m, and each side of the
equilateral triangle inside the hexagonal part
of the garden measures 4 meters:
Total length of timber edging needed for all of
new interior borders = (2 × 6.5) + (5 × 4)
= 33 m
Key Idea: Solve problems involving sides and angles of a
polygon.
