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.

• 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. 
  

·  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°.

The student will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to
