    1. A polygon is a closed plane figure bounded by three or more straight lines. Polygons can be classified as convex, concave, or regular based on their interior angles. 2. A convex polygon has interior angles that are all less than 180 degrees. A concave polygon has at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. A regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles. 3. The document provides formulas for calculating properties of different types of polygons like the sum of interior angles, number of diagonals, and area based on the number of sides.

    QA – Polygons

    POLYGONS
    Polygon : It is a closed plane figure bounded by three or more than three straight lines.
    e.g., triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagonand,
    decangon.

    Convex Polygon: A polygon in which none of its interior angle is more than 180 , is known
    as a convex polygon.’

    Concave Polygon : A polygon in which atleast one interior angle is more than180 then it is
    said to be concave.

    Regular Polygon : A polygon in which all the sides are equal and also all the interior angles
    are equal, is called a regular polygon.
    For regular polygons
    1. Sum of all interior angles = (n-2) x 180
    = (2n-4) x90
    2. Each interior angle = ( )=180-exterior angle
    3. Each exterior angle = ( ) (in degrees)
    4. Sum of all exterior angle = 360
    5. Number of sides in a polygon = = 2(x+1) ( )

    6. Number of diagonals = n C2 – n =
    Where n .
    7. Star : Sum of angles of a n point star = (n-4
    8. Area of a polygon = x cot ( )

    9 Nonagon 1260° 140° 40° 37
    10 Decagon 1440° 14 4 36° 35

    Solved Examples:

    1) In a polygon the measure (in degrees) of each angle is a distinct integer. If the largest
    angle is 1450 and the polygon has maximum number of sides possible, then its
    largest exterior angle is

    1) 500 2) 470 3) 450 4) 520 5) 480

    2) In the above question what is the number of sides of Polygon?

    1) 9 2) 7 3) 10 4) 8 5) 11

    If largest angle is 1450, let us find the maximum number of sides of the polygon. The sum
    of all internal angles is (n-2)∏ and the sum of all external angle is 3600.

    Let us assume it is a decagon. The sum of all internal angles is 1440. If the largest angle is
    145.The other angles can be 144,143, 142, 141,140,139,138,137,136. Total sum is 1405.

    Hence it cannot be decagon.

    Let us assume it is a nonagon. If the largest angle is 145. The other angles can be
    144,143,142,141,140,139,138 & 128. The total sum of internal angles is 1260.

    The maximum number of sides is 9.

    Its largest exterior angle is 520

    3) The internal angles of a polygon are in arithmetic Progression. The smallest angle
    measures 650 and the common difference is 18 ¾0 . The number of sides of the
    polygon is

    1) 8 2) 9 3) 10 4) 7 5) 11

    Sn = n{130+75(n-1)/4}/2 = (n-2) 180

    As the value on the right hand side is an integer, (n-1) should be divisible by 8. Hence
    substituting n= 9 , we get 1260 as the sum of all internal angles of a 9 sided figure.
