Module 6.1 Polygon Intro -- Notes

What is a polygon? How do we find the perimeter and area of a polygon?

AB
polygonsimple closed figure formed by segments
simplesides meet only at their endpoints
draw a figure that is NOT simplesee board for examples
closedall the sides meet with no gaps
regular polygonall the segments are the same length and all the angle are equal in measure
draw a regular trianglesee board for examples
convex polygonevery line that contains two of its vertices passes through the interior of the polygon
draw a convex quadrilateralsee board for examples
concave polygonthere is at least one line containinig two vertices that does not pass through the interior of the polygon
draw a concave pentagonsee board for examples
draw a figure that is NOT closedsee board for examples
draw a figure that is NOT formed by segmentssee board for examples
quadrilaterala polygon that has 4 sides
parallelograma quadrilateral that has two PAIRS of parallel lines
draw a parallelogramsee board for examples
area of a quadrilateralArea = base X height
area of a triangleArea = 1/2 base X height
draw a triangle with an area of 15see board for examples
draw a square with an area of 16see board for examples
draw a parallelogram with an area of 24see board for examples
