HELP ! Which of the following best describes this polygon? concave octagon concave decagon convex octagon convex decagon
its b or d not shur...
good, i'm getting 10 sides too so its a decagon
are there any interior angles that are greater than 180 degrees?
yes its greater than 180
which interior angle
wait they would all equal 360 rite ?
here is what an interior angle looks like |dw:1357693757197:dw| I didn't feel like drawing a decagon, but the same idea applies
its any angle where it's on the inside of a polygon
yes i See theres 6 rite ?
well that's just my example (and my laziness in not wanting to draw 10 sides lol)
in the case of a decagon, there are 10 interior angles
decagon = 10 sides and 10 interior angles
lol iGet tht but did i get the example right ?
yes you did
so looking at the decagon, are there any interior angles that are greater than 180 degrees?
no there not equal as ilook
but are any larger than 180 degrees?
they all are
here is an angle that is less than 180 degrees |dw:1357694271420:dw| here is one that is greater than 180 degrees |dw:1357694289948:dw|
IF you had something like this |dw:1357694308708:dw|
then this interior angle |dw:1357694328930:dw| is larger than 180 degrees which would make this polygon in this example concave
