Study Notes
Polygon Parts
- A polygon is a two-dimensional shape with straight sides and angles.
- The surface of a polygon is the area enclosed within its sides.
- The center of a polygon is a point equidistant to all the sides.
- The perimeter of a polygon is the total length of all its sides.
- The radius of a polygon is a line segment from the center to any vertex.
- The apothem of a polygon is a line segment from the center perpendicular to the midpoint of a side.
- A vertex is a point where two sides of a polygon meet.
- The base of a polygon is the side on which it rests.
- An angle of a polygon is formed by two consecutive sides.
- A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment connecting two non-consecutive vertices.
- The sides of a polygon are the line segments that enclose it.
Diagram
- Arrows in the diagram likely represent the radius and apothem.
- Lines in the diagram indicate sides, vertices, and diagonals.
