Equilateral polygon
Polygon with sides of equal length
Equiangular polygon
Polygon with angles of equal measure
Regular polygon
A polygon with all angles and side equal
How to find total measure of shape with number of sides
(N-2) 180= sum of angles
How to find measure of each interior angle on a regular polygon with sum of angles
(N-2) 180 = sum of angles
————————————-
N
7 sides polygon
Heptagon
9 sided polygon
Nonagon
10 sided polygon
Decagon
12 sided polygon
Dodecagon
How to find # of angles with sum of all angles
Sum of angles / 180 = n + 2 = number of sides
What do all exterior angles of a polygon add up to
360
How to find measure of one exterior angle on a regular polygon
360 dived by number of sides
Definition of parralegram
A quadrilateral both pairs of apposite sides being parallel
Properties of a parallelogram
1.opposite sides congruent
2. Opposite angles congruent
3. Consecutive angles supplementary
4. Diagonals bisect each-other
( also one pair of opposite sides parallel and congruent proves)
Definition of a rhombus
Quadrilateral with four congruent sides
Definition of a rectangle
Quadrilateral with 4 right angles
Definition of a square
A quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles ( essentials just both a rhombus and a square)
Properties of a rhombus
1Diagonals of a rhombus bisect corner angles
2 diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular
Properties of a rectangle
1 diagonals congruent
2 if a parallelogram with one right angle then it is a rectangle
Leg definition
Parts of trapezoid not parallel
Bases
Parallels sides of trapezoid not necessarily bottom and top
