please help will medal and pic below Which statement describes the polygon? A. The polygon is equilateral but not equiangular. B. The polygon is equiangular but not equilateral. C. The polygon is equilateral and equiangular. D. The polygon is neither equilateral nor equiangular.

OpenStudy (thephysicsman):

where is the polygon?

OpenStudy (dm91):

right here

OpenStudy (thephysicsman):

you know that the figure below is a square right?

OpenStudy (thephysicsman):

so all the sides are the same

OpenStudy (dm91):

yes

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Now you have to check if all angles are the same Are they?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

equilateral means all sides are equal

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- excuse me if you knew that already

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The 2 bottom angles are both 90 degrees - what about the others?

OpenStudy (dm91):

well they are equal it is just the top looks strange and that is what is throwing me off

OpenStudy (welshfella):

are the 3 angles at the top equal to the bottom 2?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

is the tp equal to 90 degrees?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* top

OpenStudy (dm91):

they are equal to 180 degrees like the bottom

OpenStudy (welshfella):

?? I am taking about 2 individual angles the one at the top and one of the bottom ones which is a right angle (90 degrees) Is the top angle = 90 degrees?

OpenStudy (dm91):

no it is more then 90

OpenStudy (welshfella):

less. The middle 2 angles are both more than 90 degrees. So now you know the correct choice.
