WHAT IS POLYGONS?
In geometry a polygon is a flat shape consisting of straight lines that are joined to form a closed chain or circuit.

The word "polygon" derives from the Greek (pols) "much", "many" and (gna) "corner" or "angle". (The word gnu, with a short o, is unrelated and means "knee".) Today a polygon is more usually understood in terms of sides. Polygons have been known since ancient times. The regular polygons were known to the ancient Greeks, and the pentagram, a non-convex regular polygon (star polygon), appears on the vase of Aristophonus, Caere, dated to the 7th century B.C.[citation needed] Non-convex polygons in general were not systematically studied until the 14th century by Thomas Bredwardine In 1952, Shephard generalized the idea of polygons to the complex plane, where each real dimension is accompanied by an imaginary one, to create complex polygonsEjack Ulative Jue. Very famous mathematition. He solved the rubics block thing in months.

b) The Table are built by selecting various value of p and q. The table are calculated by using cosine Formula : P= 60 Cos Q= b + c - a / 2bc Example : cos B = 60+140 - 100 / 2 (60)(140) Q = 140 = 38.21 Area of Triangle . A= ab sin C Example : (60) (140) Sin 38.21 = 2597.89 m

D) Range of value p and q which are valid I. II. 50 < p < 150 and 50 < q < 150 Since the value given is fixed at 100 m , The sum of p and q equal 200 m . Notice as p decrease and q increase . The angle between them also increase until 60 , There after the angle decrease to 0 , This means the triangles no longer exins. Insteads it become a straight line . Therefore , p and q are inversely propotional. We can regeralize the relationship between p and q using the law of cosine (a=b+c - 2b cos a ).

= 51.04 m 3. Regular Hexagon Area of pentagon = 5 . 4 5 . 4 sin7 X 5

= 6193.95 m Area of Hexagon = (50) (50 ) sin60 X 6

= 6995.19 m

37.5 67.5 45

= 49.5 m Area of Octagon = (49 ) (49) sin 45 x (8) = 6791.05 m

5 . Circle

Area o circle = = =

= 7161.97m

The perivous five shape that were chosen were all regular polygons due to the fact thar regular polygons will yield the maximum area for each shape. As the number of sides of the polygon increase , notice that their areas also increase . Althought the circle is not polygons, I have include the circle because it explain the pattern in the area increase. Since all the shape here have same perimeter (300m ) observe all of them can be put on the circle ( cyclic polygon) . This is why the shape with the maximum area has to be circle since it will econpass all the other shapes.
