Presentation Topic: Polygons

This presentation discusses polygons. It defines polygons as planar figures bounded by line segments that meet at endpoints and enclose one region. The presentation covers properties of polygons including the relationship between sides and vertices. It describes types of polygons such as regular, equilateral, and equiangular. Specific polygons are discussed in detail, including triangles classified by sides and angles, and types of quadrilaterals such as trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombi, and squares. The presentation concludes with formulas for calculating perimeters and areas of various polygons.

POLYGONS
A planar figure is a geometric figure that can be contained in a plane A spatial figure is a geometric figure that cannot be contained in a plane

POLYGONS
A polygon is a closed planar figure bounded by line segments that meet at their endpoints, do not cross, and enclose one and only one region

POLYGONS
Each of the bounding segments of a polygon is a side of the polygon Each segment endpoint is a vertex of the polygon A vertex angle of a polygon has sides that are sides of the polygon meeting at a vertex of the polygon

POLYGONS
Properties of Polygons
The number of vertices of a polygon equals the number of its sides The number of vertex angles of a polygon equals the number of its sides Each side of a polygon is a side of two vertex angles A vertex angle of a polygon cannot be a straight angle

POLYGONS
Types of Polygons
An equilateral polygon is a polygon having congruent sides An equiangular polygon is a polygon having congruent angles A regular polygon is both an equilateral and an equiangular polygon

POLYGONS
Names of Polygons According to the Number of Sides
No. of Sides 3 4 5 6 7 Polygon Triangle Quadrilateral Pentagon Hexagon Heptagon No. of Sides 8 9 10 12 N Polygon Octagon Nonagon Decagon Dodecagon N-gon

Here we will discuss triangle and quadrilateral in detail which are the most important types of polygons

POLYGONS
TRIANGLES
A triangle is a polygon of three sides.
Classifying Triangles by Number of Equal Sides
An equilateral triangle is a triangle having three congruent sides An isosceles triangle is a triangle having two congruent sides A scalene triangle has no congruent sides

POLYGONS
Classifying Triangles by Kinds of Angles
A right triangle is a triangle having one right angle An obtuse triangle is a triangle having one obtuse angle (more than 90o and less than 180o) An acute triangle is a triangle having all acute angles (less than 90o)

POLYGONS
QUADRILATERALS
A quadrilateral is a polygon of four sides

We shall consider two important types of quadrilaterals


Trapezoids Parallelograms

POLYGONS
Trapezoids
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral having one and only one pair of parallel sides
An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid having two congruent nonparallel sides

POLYGONS
Parallelograms
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral having two pairs of parallel sides
A rectangle is a parallelogram all of whose angles are right angles A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram

POLYGONS
PERIMETERS OF POLYGONS
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides
The perimeter of an equilateral or regular polygon is the product of the measure of a side, s, and the number of sides, n i.e. P=ns

POLYGONS
AREAS OF POLYGONS
The area of a rectangle equals the product of its base and altitude i.e. A=bh The area of a square equals the square of a side i.e. A=s2 The area of a parallelogram equals the product of a side (base) and the altitude to that side i.e. A=bh

POLYGONS
The area of a triangle is equal to one-half the product of a side (base) and the altitude to that side i.e. A = bh/2 The area of a trapezoid is equal to one-half the product of the altitude and the sum of the bases i.e. A = h(b + b)/2

POLYGONS
The area A of a regular n-sided polygon with length of side s, is given by

And for any irregular polygon with n vertices, the area A is given by:
