Quadrilaterals!

Tonight's homework is to complete the Quadrilateral worksheet.  If you need to finish the notes paper, please complete that as well.  We will have a really simple quiz this Thursday on the following items:

• Polygon definition:  Closed two dimensional figure made of line segments
• Polygon types: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon
• Triangles classified by sides:  Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene
• Triangles classified by angles: Right, Acute, Obstuse
• Quadrilateral classifications: Trapezoid, Parallelogram, Rhombus, Rectangle, Square
• Regular vs. Irregular polygons

Notes from today's lesson:

  

 

Various shapes fit into the definitions of different Quadrilaterals:

We'll continue to review tomorrow in class.  As a reminder for tonight's homework, regular polygons have all sides and all angles the same, irregular polygons do not have all sides and all angles the same.

Triangles and Polygons!

We went over a lot of information today, but I think a lot of it was review!  Take a look at the notes from class below if you have questions.  Tonight's homework is to complete both sides of the triangles and polygons worksheet.  Sorry to assign homework over the weekend, but it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes!

Have a great weekend!!!

Polygons and Triangles

We reviewed a ton of terms today, but it seemed like you all really knew what you were doing!  Here's a review:

Other polygon names:  From Wikipedia.

triangle (or trigon)	3	The simplest polygon which can exist in the Euclidean plane.
quadrilateral (or quadrangle or tetragon)	4	The simplest polygon which can cross itself.
pentagon	5	The simplest polygon which can exist as a regular star. A star pentagon is known as a pentagram or pentacle.
hexagon	6	avoid "sexagon" = Latin [sex-] + Greek
heptagon	7	avoid "septagon" = Latin [sept-] + Greek
octagon	8
enneagon or nonagon	9	"nonagon" is commonly used but mixes Latin [novem = 9] with Greek. Some modern authors prefer "enneagon".
decagon	10
hendecagon	11	avoid "undecagon" = Latin [un-] + Greek
dodecagon	12	avoid "duodecagon" = Latin [duo-] + Greek
tridecagon (or triskaidecagon)	13
tetradecagon (or tetrakaidecagon)	14
pentadecagon (or quindecagon or pentakaidecagon)	15
hexadecagon (or hexakaidecagon)	16
heptadecagon (or heptakaidecagon)	17
octadecagon (or octakaidecagon)	18
enneadecagon (or enneakaidecagon or nonadecagon)	19
icosagon	20
triacontagon	30
hectogon	100	"hectogon" is the Greek name (see hectometre), "centagon" is a Latin-Greek hybrid; neither is widely attested.
chiliagon	1000	The measure of each angle in a regular chiliagon is 179.64°.
myriagon	10,000	The internal angle of a regular myriagon is 179.964°.
megagon[6]	1,000,000	The internal angle of a regular megagon is 179.99964 degrees.
apeirogon		A degenerate polygon of infinitely many sides

Tonight's homework is the Triangles and Polygons worksheet.  Good luck!
