POLYGONS
.:. A polygon is a figuare having morethan three sides
and angles.
Examples of Polygons
.:. Divide any polygon into another polygon with one
side less and a triangle by drawing a line starting at
any vertex, skipping one vertex and joining with
the next
.:. Sum ofthe angles of a triangle is 1800
Polygons

16. .:. Sum ofthe angles of Quadrilateral is 2 x 1800
Sum of the angles ofPentagon is 3 x 1800
The sum of the angles of an n sides polygon is (n-2) x
1800
Example
A 10 sided polygon has all its angles equal. How
much is each angle?
Number ofsides = 10
Sum ofthe angles = (10 - 2) x 1800
Polygons 2
17. = 1440°
Since the angles are equal in measure the measure of an
angle = 1440
10
= 144°
Exterior Angles
[
.:. The four external angles and the four angles of the
quadrilateral together make
4 x 180° = 720°
The sum ofthe four angles ofthe quadrilateral is 360°
So, the sum ofthe four external angle is
720° - 360° = 360°
.:. The Sum ofthe external angles
= n x 1800
-[(n-2) x 180°]
= 2x 180°
= 360°
The sum of external angles of any polygon is 360°.
Polygons 3
18. Example
The angles of a triangle are 30°, 40° and 110°0 Find
the measures of its external angles.
Let's assume the exterior angles are x,y,Z
So external angles
Example
x = 180° - 30 = 150
y= 180° - 40 = 140
Z = 180° - 110 = 700
A 10 sided polygon has all its angles equal. How much is
each external angle?
Since the angles ofthe polygon are equal. Its exter-
nal angles will also be equal.
Sum of the interior angle = 360°
3600
So the measure of an external = ---yo
= 36°
Polygons 4
19. .:. Regular Polygon
polygon with equal angles and equal sides are called
regular polygon.
Example
How much is an internal angle of a 36 sided regular
polygon?
Sum ofthe external angles = 3600
3600
Measure of an external angle = 36
= 10
Measure of an internal angle = 1800
- 10
= 1700

RATIONAL NUMBERS
Rational Number
Integers and fractions are collectively called rational
numbers.
Any rational number can be written in the formx ,
where x and yare integers. Y
Example
1 2 3- - - - -
* 2 4 6
3 6 9
-=-=-
* 5 10 15
.:. If the numerator and denominator of a rational
number has any common factor then by removing
this factor, get a simpler form of the same rational
number.

Whether 209 and 247 are equal?
Check whether the product of 187 x 247 and
209 x 221 are equal
187 x 247 = 46189
209 x 221 = 46189
221So 187
