Introduction
Good Morning!
Today, we will be exploring the world of Polygons! You will learn how to identify polygons, and their angles.
We will also explore area formulas for most of the polygons we encounter.
Task
You will explore the provided websites to answer the questions that have been given to you in the Process Page.
Answer each question, to the best of your ability. You need to do this in the format that has been given, and put it in your notes as reference. These will act as your notes for this unit.
You will be graded based on participation in class, as well as the assignment that will follow the WebQuest.
Good Luck!
Process
Naming Polygons
1) What is a Polygon?
2) Write down the Naming Polygons Chart on the website. You DO NOT need to include the pictures in the chart. Just the Name, and Number of Sides the Polygon has.
3) What are the names of Polygons that have 11, or more, sides?
1) What are Concave Polygons?
2) What are Polygons that are NOT CONCAVE Called? (HINT: This information is not found on this website, you need to look this information up elsewhere.)
3) What are Regular Polygons?
4) When does a Polygon have a Line of Symmetry, or "Reflection Symmetry"?
Interior Angles of a Polygon
1) What are the Interior Angles of a Polygon?
2) By Definition, all Interior Angles of a Regular Polygon are _________.
3) What is the Equation for the Sum of the Interior Angles of a Polygon?
4) Write down the 3 Examples that were given on the website, (square, pentagon, hexagon).
5) In Regular Polygons, we can figure out EACH Interior Angle. What is the Equation for finding this information?
Exterior Angles of a Polygon
1) What are Exterior Angles of a Polygon?
2) In Regular Polygons, Exterior Angles Add up to __________.
3) Interior and Exterior Angles are __________ to one another.
Area of Polygons
1) Write down the Area Formula Chart
