G.10 - Angles of Polygons
G.10 The student will solve problems, including practical problems, involving angles of convex polygons. This will include determining the
a) sum of the interior and/or exterior angles;
b) measure of an interior and/or exterior angle;
c) number of sides of a regular polygon.
BIG IDEAS
- I can create a home plate marker for softball field, exert
enough force on a bolt to tighten it, and determine how many carpet squares to
cover a gazebo floor.
- I will be
able to figure out the sum
of interior angles when I know the number of sides of a polygon, and with that
knowledge find missing interior angle measurements.
UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD
· In convex polygons, each interior angle has a measure less than 180°.
· In concave polygons, one or more interior angles have a measure greater than 180°.
· Two intersecting lines form angles with specific relationships.
· An exterior angle is formed by extending a side of a polygon.
· The exterior angle and the corresponding interior angle form a linear pair.
· The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon may be found by dividing the interior of the polygon into nonoverlapping triangles.
· Both regular and nonregular polygons can tessellate the plane.
· A regular polygon will tessellate the plane if the measure of an interior angle is a factor of 360.
· The sum of the measures of the angles around a point in a tessellation is 360°.
· Tessellations can be found in art, construction and nature.ESSENTIALS
