Activity No. 1: Lights, Camera, POLYGON!

Objective/Subtask: Identify a polygon and its different parts.

KEY CONCEPT:

• The word “polygon” comes from the Greek words “poly”, which means “many,” and “gon,” which means “angles.”
Examples

Non- examples

The figure is not a polygon, since it

is not made of line segments. The figure is not a polygon, since
The figure is not a polygon, since it
not only two sides intersect in one
is not a closed figure. vertex.

• A polygon is a union of non-collinear segments, the sides, on a plane that meet at their endpoints, the vertices, so
that each endpoint (vertex) is contained by exactly two segments(sides). The angles on the inside of a polygon formed
by each pair of adjacent sides.
• Consecutive sides of a polygon are sides with a common endpoint.
• Consecutive vertices of a polygon are vertices which are endpoints of the same side. A polygon is often named by
listing its vertices in order.
• A diagonal of a polygon is a segment joining any two non-consecutive vertices.
• Interior angle is the inside angle of a polygon formed by two adjacent sides.
• Exterior angle is the angle formed when one side of a polygon is extended.

Activity No. 2: PolygoNAME it!

Objective/Subtask: Illustrate polygons: (a) convexity; (b) angles; (c) sides

KEY CONCEPT:
• A polygon can be classified as convex or non- convex.
• A convex polygon has interior angles that measure less than 180 0 each. In addition, a polygon is convex if and only
if all the lines containing the sides of the polygon do not contain points in the interior of the polygon.
• On the other hand, if at least one interior angle of a polygon measures greater than 180 0, it is called a non-convex (or
concave) polygon. The polygon is also concave if at least one of its sides has points in the interior.

• Another way to check the convexity of a polygon is through its diagonals. When all diagonals of a polygon are in its
interior, then it is a convex polygon. When at least one diagonal is on the exterior of the polygon, then it is a concave
polygon.

Activity No. 1: Relate and Resolve, Whatever it Takes!

Objectives/Subtasks:
1. Find the sum of the interior and exterior angles of a polygon;
2. Derive inductively the relationship of exterior and interior angles of a convex polygon.
KEY CONCEPT:

 • Every polygon can be divided into several triangles. This can be done by drawing all diagonals from one of the vertices
of the polygon. For example, a quadrilateral can be divided in into two triangles and a pentagon can be divided into
three triangles, as shown in the figure 1

1800

Figure 1. Polygons divided into triangles

• Using this idea and the fact that the sum of the interior angles of triangles is 180 0, you can generalize a rule for the
sum of the interior angles of any polygon.
Sum of the Interior Angles of Convex Polygons
Number of triangles
Polygon Number of sides (n) Sum of interior angles

4 2 2 x 1800 = 3600

5 3 3 x 1800 = 5400

6 4 4 x 1800 = 7200

7 5 5 x 1800 = 9000

8 6 6 x 1800 = 10800

• The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to 1800 times the number of triangles that can be drawn from one vertex. Also,
notice that the number of triangles that can be drawn from one vertex is two less than the number of sides of the polygon, thus, n
– 2. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of any polygon is given by the formula,
𝑆𝑛 = (𝑛 − 2)𝑥 1800
Where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
• The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is solved by dividing the sum of all interior angles by the number of sides.
In symbols,
(𝑛 − 2)𝑥 1800

• While an exterior angle of a convex polygon can be drawn by extending a side and forming an angle with an adjacent side of
the polygon. The exterior angles of convex polygons can be drawn either in clockwise or counter clockwise direction (figure 2).

Exterior angles clockwise direction exterior angles counter clockwise direction

Figure 2. Exterior angles of convex polygons
• Notice in figure 2 that an interior angle and its adjacent exterior angle form a linear pair.
• The sum of all interior and exterior angles of a convex polygon is 180n, where n is the number of sides.
• To get the sum of the exterior angles subtract the sum of the interior angles [(n – 2) x 1800] from the sum of all interior and
exterior angles (180n).

4 1800 x 4 = 7200 2 x 1800 = 3600 7200 – 3600 = 3600
5 1800 x 5 = 9000 3 x 1800 = 5400 9000 – 5400 = 3600
6 1800 x 6 = 10800 4 x 1800 = 7200 108000 – 7200 = 3600
7 1800 x 7 = 12600 5 x 1800 = 9000 12600 – 9000 = 3600
8 1800 x 8 = 14400 6 x 1800 = 10800 14400 – 10800 = 3600
• Remember that the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360 0.
• To get the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon, divide 360 0 by the number of sides.

EXAMPLE:
1. What is the sum of all interior and exterior angles of a decagon?
2. What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular nonagon? What about the measure
of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon?
Solution:
1. a. A decagon has 10 sides. Substituting n = 10 into the polygon angle sum formula,
S10 = (10 – 2) x 1800
S10 = 8 x 1800
S10 = 14400 Sum of all interior angles of a decagon
b. Use the polygon angle sum formula to find the sum of the exterior angles of a decagon.
SE = (180n) - [(n – 2) x 1800]
SE =180(10) - [(10 – 2) x 1800]
SE = 18000 - 8x1800
SE = 18000 - 14400
SE = 3600 Sum of all exterior angles of a decagon.

2. a. First, compute the sum of all interior angles of a nonagon.

S9 = (9 – 2) x 1800
S9 = 7 x 1800
S9 = 12600
Then, divide the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon by the number of sides.
