@iGreen

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

i think it's a

OpenStudy (bohotness):

do you know what equtiilarterangl or the others mean?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

@iGreen i think it's a

OpenStudy (igreen):

A is incorrect.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

uh that's a serious typo lol

OpenStudy (igreen):

Equilateral means the sides are all the same length. Equiangular means the angles are all the same measurement.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

so c

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, look at the sides. The lines through them tell you if they're the same or not

OpenStudy (igreen):

If all of them had one line through them, they'd all be equal

OpenStudy (igreen):

Look:|dw:1424703938818:dw|

OpenStudy (igreen):

Those lines tell us all the sides are equal.

OpenStudy (igreen):

|dw:1424703965324:dw| These lines tell us the left and right lines are equal because they both have 1 line, but the bottom one is different because it has two lines.

OpenStudy (igreen):

So is this polygon equilateral?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

no? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct

OpenStudy (igreen):

Those partly circles tell you the angles..do they all look the same?

OpenStudy (igreen):

|dw:1424704160662:dw|

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

b would be the answer right? and yes they do?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

You got it!

OpenStudy (igreen):

Wait..no..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Actually the sides are all the same..

OpenStudy (igreen):

They all have two lines through each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:P lol i was about to say no why did you steal my thunder!

OpenStudy (igreen):

xD

OpenStudy (igreen):

So it's equilateral also :P
