Term
polygons
Definition

 

The figures pictured below are ________________________________________. They are closed, plane figures composed of segments that intersect only at their endpoints.

[image]

Term

vertices

("vertices" is the plural of "vertex.")

Definition

Points W, F, S, U and Y are ________________________________________ of polygon WFSUY.

[image]

Term
diagonal
Definition

In the diagram below, segment AC is a(n) ________________________________________ of pentagon ABCDE.

[image]

Term
convex polygon
Definition

Draw a kite shaped polygon on your paper somewhere. Notice that if you draw a segment connecting any two non-adjacent vertices that the segment only passes through the interior. We would classify the kite as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
concave polygon
Definition

If you connect points O and Y on the figure below with a line segment, the segment will pass through the exterior of POLY. For that reason, we would classify POLY as a(n) ______________________________.

[image]

Term
equiangular
Definition

Based on the marks made on the diagram below, pentagon ABCDE is both equilateral and ______________________________.

[image]

Term
equilateral polygon
Definition

In pentagon TIGER, TI = IG = GE = ER = RT. TIGER is a(n) ______________________________.

Term
regular
Definition

All 12 of a dodecagon’s sides are 10 centimeters long and each of its interior angles measures 150°. That makes it a(n) ________________________________________ dodecagon.

Term
center
Definition

If you find the point that is the same distance from every vertex of a regular polygon, you have found the ______________________________ of that regular polygon.

Term
central angle
Definition

In the figure below. If you were to draw ray FB and ray FA, the two rays would form a(n) ______________________________ of pentagon ABCDE.

[image]

Term
interior angle
Definition

Draw a triangle somewhere on a piece of scratch paper. Now, draw a point on one vertex of the triangle and draw rays that start at that vertex and pass through the sides of the triangle that meet at that vertex. These rays form a(n) ________________________________________ of the polygon you drew.

Term
exterior angle
Definition

Because adjacent angles HAR and RAY are supplementary, we would classify angle HAR as a(n) ________________________________________ of ARLEY.

 [image]

Term
quadrilaterals
Definition

Trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares and kites are all examples of ________________________________________. That is, they are all four-sided polygons.

Term
pentagon
Definition

Based solely on the number of sides it has, ______________________________ is the name we would give to the polygon picture below:

[image]

Term
hexagon
Definition

The figure below is a(n) ______________________________. It is a six-sided polygon.

[image]

Term
n-gon
Definition

When we don’t know the number of sides of a polygon or when we are trying to prove a property that applies to a polygon regardless of the number of sides it has, we say that the polygon has n sides, and we refer to it as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
octagon
Definition

A stop sign is a real-world example of a regular eight-sided polygon, which we call a regular ______________________________.

Term
heptagon
Definition

“Hepta” is a Greek prefix for “seven.” That’s why we call a seven sided polygon a(n) ______________________________.
