Example 1:

Determine whether the figure is a polygon. If it is, classify the polygon and state whether it is regular. If it is not a polygon, explain why.

Not a polygon

Has curves

Example 2:

Determine whether the figure is a polygon. If it is, classify the polygon and state whether it is regular. If it is not a polygon, explain why.

Hexagon

Not Regular

Example 3:

Find the measure of each angle of a regular heptagon. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

5 x 180

900°

900 ÷ 7

128.6°

Example 4:

Ms. Pena is creating a pattern on her wall. She wants to use triangles with angles 120°, 30°, and 30°. Can Ms. Pena create a tessellation with these triangles?

The sum of the measures of the angles where the vertices meet in a tessellation is 360°. Since 360° is divisible by both 30° and 120°, the polygons can be arranged in a tessellation.
