Chapter 6 Flashcards
Convex polygon
A polygon such that no line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon
Concave polygon
A polygon that is not convex
Diagonals of a polygon
A segment that joins two nonconsecutive vertices
Equilateral polygon
A polygon with all sides congruent
Equiangular polygon
A polygon with all interior angles congruent
Regular polygon
Polygon that is equilateral and equiangular
Polygon interior angles theorem
The some of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n- gon is:
180(n-2)
The measure of each interior angle of a regular n -gon is
180(n-2) / n
Polygon exterior angles theorem
The sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one from each vertex, of a convex polygon is 360*
Polygon
A plane figure that is formed by three or more segments called side such that:
1) each side intersex exactly 2 other sides, once at each end point
2) no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear
Parallelogram
A quadrilateral who’s opposite sides are parallel
Properties of parallelograms
If a quadrilateral is a p-gram
There are 4
Then it’s opposite sides are congruent
Then it’s opposite angles are congruent
That it’s consecutive angles are supplementary
Then it’s diagonals bisect each other
Then The quadrilateral is a parallelogram
There are 5
Both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent
If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent
If an angle of the quadrilateral is supplementary to both consecutive angles
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other
If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are both congruent and parallel
Rhombus
Parallelogram with four sides congruent
Rectangle
Parallelogram with four right angles
Square
Parallelogram that is both a rhombus and a rectangle
A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if
There are 2
Diagonals are perpendicular
Each Diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles
Parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if
It’s diagonals are congruent
Quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if
It has four sides congruent
The quadrilateral is a rectangle if and only if
It has four right angles
Trapezoid
Quadrilateral with exactly one pair of opposite sides that are parallel
Isosceles trapezoid
Trapezoid with congruent legs
Trapezoid base angles theorem
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent
Trapezoid diagonals thm
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then it’s diagonals are congruent
