Understanding 9-Sided Polygons

The document discusses basic polygons and their properties. It defines polygons as closed two-dimensional shapes with straight sides. The key parts of a polygon are its sides, vertices, diagonals, and axes of symmetry. Regular polygons have equal side lengths and interior angles. The document also covers properties of specific polygons like triangles, quadrilaterals, and their interior and exterior angles. Exercises with diagrams are provided to practice calculating unknown angle measures.

Chapter 9: Basic Polygons

9.1 Polygons
Polygons are closed two-dimensional shapes where their sides are made of straight lines.

Not a closed shape

curve

This triangle is considered as a polygon. This is not a polygon. This is not a polygon.
Because all the ends are connected. Because it does not has Because the side is
closed side. not straight.

Types of Polygons

Parts of Polygon

1. Side and Vertex

- Each polygon has sides and vertices.


- Sides are made up of the line segments on the polygon.
- The point in which two sides meet is called a vertex
diagonal
- Number of vertices is always equal to number of sides.

2. Diagonal

- It is the segment that connects two non-consecutive vertices.


𝑛(𝑛−3)
- Number of diagonal can be calculated by using formula, where n is the number of
2
sides.
3. Axis of symmetry

- When the polygon is folded up along the axis of symmetry, sides will be overlapping each
other perfectly.
- In a regular polygon, number of axis of symmetry is equal to number of vertices.
- A regular polygon has sides which are of same length and interior angles.
