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
