Complete this statement: A polygon with all sides the same length is said to be ______. (1 point) a.regular b.equilateral c.equiangular d.convex

OpenStudy (arabpride):

b. equilateral

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

b. equilateral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you positive?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

regular means that all the angles and the sides are equal, equangular means just the angles are equal

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

And yes, I am positive that b is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (arabpride):

yes B is definetly the correct answer

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

b.equilateral

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

A polygon with all sides the same length is said to be equilateral

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't get it, @StudyGurl14, how can shape have all equal angles and not all equal sides? I think it's A, this is called a regular polygon.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

It is for sure A, I am positive.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

if all angles are equal with equal sides then it is a regular polygon @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It is b. I am positive. I'm looking at my Geomtry textbook right in front of me. It even has pictures ot prove it.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@CGGURUMANJUNATH, isn't that what I (also) said?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

A polygon with all sides the same length is said to be equilateral . option b is right @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok, then how can a shape be equilateral, but not be also a regular polygon?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

@SolomonZelman go through above link !

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Then I guess regular polygon and equilateral polygon are the same exact thing.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

no.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

A polygon with all sides the same length is said to be equilateral. if all angles are equal with equal sides then it is a regular polygon.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No @SolomonZelman. Equilateral means that just the lengths of the sides of the polygon are equal. A regular polygon is both equilateral AND equangular.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

correct @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

if all sides are euqual then all angles are also equal.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

how ?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

need not be.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Show me an example where this is not true, please

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

can u show .?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

where it is true ? @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ok ,let us both try .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[ICY\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You could have just posted that shape instead of wasting your own time, SORRY, good by..........

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

not true @SolomonZelman . View the attachemnts. The first pic is equangular. The second is equilateral. the third is regular.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

K

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

well done @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Thanks @CGGURUMANJUNATH
