1. Draw an acute angle and shade the interior.
2. Find the measure of the supplement of a
130º angle.
ANSWER
ANSWER 50
3. Find the measure of the complement of an
86 angle.
ANSWER 4
3. 1.6Example 1
SOLUTION
Tell whether the figure is a polygon and whether it is
convex or concave.
Some segments intersect more than two segments,
so it is not a polygon.
a.
b. The figure is a convex polygon.
d. The figure is a concave polygon.
Part of the figure is not a segment, so it is not a
polygon.
c.
b. c.a. d.
6. 1.6Example 2
SOLUTION
Classify the polygon by the number of sides. Tell
whether the polygon is equilateral, equiangular, or
regular. Explain your reasoning.
a. b.
The polygon has 6 sides. It is equilateral and
equiangular, so it is a regular hexagon.
a.
The polygon has 4 sides, so it is a quadrilateral. It
is not equilateral or equiangular, so it is not
regular.
b.
7. 1.6Example 2
SOLUTION
Classify the polygon by the number of sides. Tell
whether the polygon is equilateral, equiangular, or
regular. Explain your reasoning.
c. The polygon has 12 sides, so it is a dodecagon.
The sides are congruent, so it is equilateral. The
polygon is not convex, so it is not regular.
c.
9. 1.6Guided Practice
Classify the polygon shown at
the right by the number of
sides. Explain how you know
that the sides of the polygon are
congruent and that the angles
of the polygon
are congruent.
2.
Quadrilateral. They all have the same measure;
they are all right angles.
ANSWER
10. 1.6Example 4
A table is shaped
like a regular hexagon.The
expressions shown represent
side lengths of the hexagonal
table. Find the length of a side.
ALGEBRA
SOLUTION
First, write and solve an equation to find the value of x.
Use the fact that the sides of a regular hexagon are
congruent.
Write equation.
Subtract 3x from each side.
Add 2 to each side.
3x + 6 4x – 2=
6 = x – 2
8 = x
11. 1.6Example 4
A table is shaped
like a regular hexagon.The
expressions shown represent
side lengths of the hexagonal
table. Find the length of a side.
ALGEBRA
SOLUTION
Then find a side length. Evaluate one of the expressions
when x = 8.
303(8) + 6 ==3x + 6
The length of a side of the table is
30 inches.
ANSWER
