Polygon
A polygon is a flat shape made up of straight lines segments, that are connected to each other end to end to form a closed figure.
Polygons are two types:
- (i) Regular polygon
- (ii) Irregular polygon
Regular polygon
A polygon having all sides equal and all angles equal is called regular polygon. An equilateral triangle and a square are examples of regular polygons.
Irregular polygon
Polygons which are not regular are called irregular polygons. A rectangle and a rhombus are examples of irregular polygons.
Class 8 Maths Exercise 3.1 Important Questions
Find the value of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of: (i) 8 sides (ii) 9 sides (iii) 12 sides.
(i) Each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 8 sides = (360/8)0 = 45°.
(ii) Each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 9 sides = (360/9)0 = 40°.
(iii) Each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 12 sides = (360/12)0 = 30°.
Is it possible to have a regular polygon each of whose exterior angles is 25°?
Let the number of sides of the given polygon be n.
each of its exterior angles = (360/n)0
Now, 360/n = 25, so, n = 360/25 = 72/5, which is not a whole number.
So, it not possible to have a regular polygon each of whose exterior angles is 25.
Find the measure of each interior angle of a regular. (i) pentagon (ii) hexagon (iii) octagon (iv) polygon of 12 sides.
(i) Each exterior angle of a regular pentagon = (360/5)0 = 720.
Each of its interior angles = (180° – 72°) = 108°
(ii) Each exterior angle of a regular hexagon = (360/6)0 = 60°
Each of its interior angles = (180° – 60°) = 120°
(iii) Each exterior angle of a regular octagon = (360/6)0 = 45°
Each of its interior angles = (180° – 45°) = 135°.
(iv) Each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 12 sides = (360/6)0 = 30°.
Each of its interior angles = (180° – 30°) = 150°.
For a regular polygon of n sides, we have
(i) each exterior angle = (3600 /n)
(ii) each interior angle = 180° – (each exterior angle).
In a convex polygon of n sides, we have
(i) sum of all exterior angles = 4 right’s.
(ii) sum of all interior angles = (2n – 4) right’s.
Number of diagonals in a polygon of n sides = n(n – 3)/ 2.
Class 8 Maths Exercise 3.1 Extra Questions for Practice
What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon?
As the number of sides of a regular polygon decreases, each of its exterior angles increases and therefore each interior angle decreases. Thus, an equilateral triangle will have minimum interior angle, which is 60°.
What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?
As the number of sides of a regular polygon decreased, each of its exterior angles increases. So, it maximum in case of an equilateral triangle, which is 120°.
What is the number of diagonals in a (i) quadrilateral (ii) pentagon (iii) hexagon (iv) polygon of 10 sides?
Number of diagonals of n side = {n (n – 3)/2}
(i) Number of diagonals of a quadrilateral = {4 (4 – 3)/2} = (2 x 1) = 2.
(ii) Number of diagonals of a pentagon = {5 (5 – 3)/2} = (5 x 2)/2 = 5.
(iii) Number of diagonals of a hexagon = {6 (6 – 3)/2} = (6 x 3)/2 = 9.
(iv) Number of diagonals in a polygon 10 sides = {10 (10 – 3)/2} = (10 x 7)/2 = 35.
Find the number of sides of a regular polygon whose each exterior angle measure 45°.
Sum of all exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°.
Each exterior angle = 45°
number of exterior angles = 360/45 = 8.
number of sides in the given polygon = 8.
concave polygon
A concave polygon is defined as a polygon with one or more interior angles greater than 180°. A concave polygon is the opposite of a convex polygon.
Different Types of Polygons
| Number of sides | Polygon Name |
|---|---|
| Three | Trigon or Triangle |
| Four | Tetragon or Quadrilateral |
| Five | Pentagon |
| Six | Hexagon |
| Seven | Heptagon |
| Eight | Octagon |
| Nine | Nonagon or Enneagon |
| Ten | Decagon |
