This document discusses different types of polygons and their properties. It begins by defining polygons as closed, planar shapes with three or more sides. It then covers terminology related to polygons such as vertices, sides, and diagonals. Several key properties of polygons are examined, including the sum of interior angles being (n-2)*180 degrees for an n-sided polygon and the sum of exterior angles always being 360 degrees. The document also discusses the number of diagonals that can be drawn in a single vertex or across all vertices of different polygons. Finally, it covers specific types of quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and trapezoids.

2. Polygons
3.1 Definition
 Polygons are closed planar shapes with three or
more sides. Some examples of polygons are given
in figure 3.1.
CHAPTER 3 : POLYGONSCopyright © 2015 by Papasmurf

3. 3.2 Terminology
 Vertices : The corners of the polygons are called vertices.
 Consecutive sides : Consecutive sides are those which have a
vertex in common.
 Diagonals : Diagonals are segments joining non-consecutive
vertices.

4.  In figure 3.2 A, B, C, D, E & F are vertices. AB has two
consecutive sides BC and AF. Similarly two consecutive sides
exist for the rest of the sides.
 Segments joining A to all vertices except B & F are diagonals.
Similarly, diagonals can be drawn from all the other vertices.

6. 3.3 Sum of Interior angles of a Polygon
Figure 3.3 shows an octagon.
Five diagonals can be drawn from A.
This gives rise to six triangles.
 Since the sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 1800, the
sum all the internal angles of this polygon is 6 ∙ 1800 = 10800.
This can be generalized as :
 For any n sided polygon the sum of its internal angles is
CHAPTER 3 : POLYGONSCopyright © 2015 by Papasmurf
( n - 2 ) ∙ 1800

7. 3.4 Sum of exterior angles of a Polygon
 Figure 3.4 shows a pentagon. Its external
angles are named from a to e. The aim is
to find the sum of these five angles.
 It is known that the sum of internal
angles of a Pentagon
= (5 - 2 ) ∙ 1800
= 3 ∙ 1800
= 5400
 Therefore each interior angle of the pentagon measures
5400 / 5 = 1080
CHAPTER 3 : POLYGONSCopyright © 2015 by Papasmurf

8.  The interior and exterior angles form linear
pairs and hence are supplementary.
 Therefore each exterior angle measures
1800 - 1080 = 720
 Sum of five exterior angles = 5 ∙ 72 = 3600
 It can be proved that the sum of the exterior a
angles for any polygon is 3600.
 Sum of interior angles of an n sided polygon
= ( n - 2 ) 1800.
 Therefore measure of each internal angle

exterior a angles for any polygon is 360o.

Example 3
 If the sum of the internal angles of a polygon is 12600. Find
the number of sides.
 Solution:
1260o = (n-2)180o
1260o = 180on - 2 ∙ 180o
1260o = 180on – 360o
1260o + 360o = 180on
1620o = 180on
1620o ÷180o = n
9 = n
answer
9 sides

37. A kite is a quadrilateral in which two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are
congruent (“disjoint pairs” means that one side can’t be used in both pairs).
Check out the kite in the below figure.
The properties of the kite are as follows:
•Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent by definition
Note: Disjoint means that the two pairs are totally separate.
•The diagonals are perpendicular.
•One diagonal (segment KM, the main diagonal) is the perpendicular
bisector of the other diagonal (segment JL, the cross diagonal). (The terms
“main diagonal” and “cross diagonal” are made up for this example.)
•The main diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles (angle K and
angle M).
•The opposite angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal are congruent
(angle J and angle L).
