By drawing as many diagonals as we could from one diagonal, you should be able to see a pattern...we can make n-2 triangles in a n-sided polygon. Given this information and the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 180°, we can come up with a theorem that helps us to figure out the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any n-sided polygon! Baroody Page 3 of 6 Honors Geometry Notes Next, let’s look at exterior angles in a polygon. First, consider the exterior angles of a pentagon as shown below: Note that the sum of the exterior angles is 360°.

  • ( ) Methods for Construction of Odd Number Pointed
    Daniel DOBRE METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ODD NUMBER POINTED POLYGONS Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present methods for constructing of polygons with an odd number of sides, although some of them may not be built only with compass and straightedge. Odd pointed polygons are difficult to construct accurately, though there are relatively simple ways of making a good approximation which are accurate within the normal working tolerances of design practitioners. The paper illustrates rather complicated constructions to produce unconstructible polygons with an odd number of sides, constructions that are particularly helpful for engineers, architects and designers. All methods presented in this paper provide practice in geometric representations. Key words: regular polygon, pentagon, heptagon, nonagon, hendecagon, pentadecagon, heptadecagon. 1. INTRODUCTION n – number of sides; Ln – length of a side; For a specialist inured to engineering graphics, plane an – apothem (radius of inscribed circle); and solid geometries exert a special fascination.

  • The Euclidean Inscribed Polygon
    BULLETIN of the Bull. Malaysian Math. Sc. Soc. (Second Series) 27 (2004) 45−52 MALAYSIAN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES SOCIETY The Euclidean Inscribed Polygon RICHARD L. FRANCIS Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701 e-mail: [email protected] 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 01A20. 1. Introduction Euclid’s work reflected in many ways his Pythagorean predecessors and was to prove of lasting impact. Yet these early geometric developments did not utilize the tools of sexagesimal angle measure. Incorporation of the partitioning of the circle into 360 equal parts, largely the work of Hipparchus in his development of formalized trigonometry, was not introduced into Greece until 140 B.C. or so (some one to two centuries following Euclid). Although the sexagesimal system of degrees, minutes, and seconds was slow in being absorbed into early Greek mathematics, the language of this system now prevails in discussing the geometry of Euclid. Such a method of expression becomes evident in pursuit of key books of the Elements and stands out clearly in modern-day commentaries on Book 4 [1]. This book of sixteen propositions concerns regular polygon constructions and figures circumscribed about or inscribed in a circle, and foreshadows many centuries of mathematical advancement. Regular polygon constructibility standards are today well known and extend far beyond the content of Book 4. These enhancements reflect Gauss’ work in his 1801 Disquisitiones Arithmeticae and the writings of others in the early nineteenth century (reference 6). Present insights stand in contrast to the construction limitations of the long-ago Greeks. Ancient geometers knew how to construct not only the regular triangle, quadrilateral, and hexagon, but the pentagon as well (a result growing out of the known constructibility of the golden mean).

  • Efficient Construction by Ruler and Compass of a Pentadecagon Arxiv
    Efficient construction by ruler and compass of a Pentadecagon Arjeh Kurzweil, Erez Sheiner March 19, 2020 Abstract In this short paper we show that with a small change of the common ruler and com- pass construction of the regular pentadecagon, we can produce more regular polygons . 1 Introduction Ruler and compass constructions date back to ancient Greek mathematicians, and was stud- ied by Euclid in his famous Elements books from 300 BC ([1],[2]). Using the ruler one can draw a straight line between two points. Using the compass and two given points one can draw a circle around one of the points, with radius which is the distance between theses two points. Among other problems, Euclid studied the problem of constructing regular (equilateral and equiangular [1]) polygons. Only in 1837, Wantzel has proved that a regular polygon can be constructed if and only if the number of its sides is the product of a power of 2 and distinct Fermat primes ([3]). In Euclids Elements fourth book, problem XVI, he describes how to construct a regular pentadecagon (quindecagon [1]) inscribed in a given circle. Euclid used the construction of arXiv:2003.08175v1 [math.HO] 16 Mar 2020 a triangle and a pentagon from a given point A (see figure 1). The arc AB is a fifth of the whole circumference, and the arc AC is a third. Therefore the arc BC is two fifteenths of the whole, and by bisecting the angle \BOC we obtain the angle of the pentadecagon. 1 Figure 1: Euclid main interest here was the ability to construct the polygon.

  • Basic Geometry Concepts and Definitions
    BASIC GEOMETRY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS: Geometry: It is an area of knowledge which studies any elements and operations on/in the plane such as points, lines or shapes. It comes from the Greek geo “earh”, metry “measurement”. Point: In geometry a point can be defined as the place or location where two lines intersect. A point has no dimensions, no height and no width. Line: a one-dimensional object formed of infinite points . It has no end points and continues on forever in a plane. Ray: A line which begins at a particular point (called the endpoint) and extends endlessly in one direction. End point:An End Point is a point at which a line segment or a ray ends or starts. Midpoint:It is the point that is halfway between the endpoints of the line segment. Line segment: It is a line with two endpoints Straight line: A line whose points follow the same direction. Plane: It is a two-dimensional (height and width) surface. In the space a plane can be defined by two paralel lines, two intersecting lines or one point and a straight line. Length:Measurement of something from end to end Listen and watch this LINE SEGMENT RAY STRAIGHT LINE video about basic geometry language A C B D online AB are End points for the line segment, C is its midpoint. D is the Ray's Endpoint. http://youtu.be/il0EJrY64qE GEOMETRY DRAWING AND SUPPLIES CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS: Freehand: Drawn by hand without guiding instruments, measurements.
