In geometry a polygon (pronounced /ˈpɒlɪɡɒn/) is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path or circuit, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments (i.e., by a closed polygonal chain). These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions. The word "polygon" derives from the Greek πολύς ("many") and γωνία (gōnia), meaning "knee" or "angle". Today a polygon is more usually understood in terms of sides. Usually two edges meeting at a corner are required to form an angle that is not straight (180°); otherwise, the line segments will be considered parts of a single edge. The basic geometrical notion has been adapted in various ways to suit particular purposes. For example in the computer graphics (image generation) field, the term polygon has taken on a slightly altered meaning, more related to the way the shape is stored and manipulated within the computer.

Show your work.? Q. How many sides does a polygon with an interior angle measure of 120 degrees have? Show your work. Asked by chelsea r - Thu Aug 23 21:37:20 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hey there! Let's use the formula N=180(n-2)/n, where N is the measure of interior angle and n is the number of sides. N=180(n-2)/n --> Write the problem. 120=180(n-2)/n --> Substitute 120 for n. 120n=180(n-2) --> Multiply n on both sides of the equation. 120n=180n-360 --> Distribute 180 into n-2. -60n=-360 --> Subtract 180n on both sides of the equation. n=6 Divide -60 on both sides of the equation. So the polygon has 6 sides. Hope it helps! Answered by Agent B - Thu Aug 23 21:47:29 2007 When someone asks if a polygon can tesselate a plane,what exactly are they asking?
Q. 1)When someone asks if a polygon can tesselate a plane,what exactly are they thinking? Explain yourself thoughtfully and carefully. 2)How someone can figure out whether a figure will or will not tesselate(tile) a plane without actually trying it? Asked by ~*SunShine*~ - Sat Jan 20 00:42:45 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. The only regular polygons(all sides congruent and all angles congruent) that can tesselate a plane(because of the reasons stated above) are: Equiliateral triangle: Int. angles 60 degrees. 6 at each vertex Square. Int. angles 90 degrees, 4 at each vertex. Hexagon: Int. angles 72 degrees, 5 at each vertex. These are the only regular polygons that you could tile a floor with having no gaps at the vertex. There are an infinite number of non-regular polygons that will tesselate the plane, such as any rectangle or triangle, and others. Have fun!
