Looking Back to your Lesson

In your previous lesson you have learned how to bisect an angle. An angle bisector is defined as a line
which cuts an angle into two equal halves. In general, 'to bisect' something means to cut it into two equal parts.
The 'bisector' is the part doing the cutting.

In the figure above, 𝐽𝐾 is the bisector. It divides the larger angle ∠𝐿𝐽𝑀 into two smaller equal angles ∠𝐿𝐽𝐾
and ∠𝐾𝐽𝑀.
The two smaller angles are adjacent angles because they share the common leg 𝐽𝐾.

“That’s great! Since you’re done going back to your previous lesson, it’s time to proceed to a new topic. Let’s
start it by answering the first activity. Keep going!”

Introduction of the Lesson

MATH 7 QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 Page 2 | 9

 LESSON 1: POLYGON

The word “polygon” comes from the Greek words “poly”, which means “many” and “gon” which means
“angles.” A polygon is a union of non-collinear segments, the sides, on a plane that meet at their endpoints,
the vertices, so that each endpoint (vertex) is contained by exactly two segments (sides).

A
In the polygon ABCDE on the right,

the vertices are points A, B, C, D, and E. B E

The sides are 𝐴𝐵, 𝐵𝐶, 𝐶𝐷, 𝐷𝐸, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴𝐸.

The interior angles are ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, and ∠E. C D
Polygons:
The figures below are polygons because they are closed geometric figures and their sides are
intersecting two other sides.

Can you give more examples of polygons?

Not Polygons:
The figures below are NOT polygons because the first two figures have curves and the third
figure is not a closed geometric figure.

Can you draw more examples of figures which are NOT polygons?

“Let’s try to remember what polygons are by answering the first activity. Look at the figures carefully. I know
you can do it!”

Activities
Activity 1.1 Where Do I Belong?
Group the given figures below. Identify if it is a POLYGON or NOT by drawing them inside their
corresponding box.

POLYGON NOT POLYGON

 “Great! Now that you know polygons by simply looking at it, we will now proceed to the kinds of
polygons. Let’s proceed.”

LESSON 2: KINDS OF POLYGONS ACCORDING TO CONVEXITY

Polygons are classified as either convex or concave. A polygon is said to be convex if the lines
containing the sides of the polygon do not cross the interior of the polygon. A polygon that is not convex is called
non-convex or concave because it fails to satisfy the definition of a convex polygon.

In a convex polygon, each interior angle is less than 180°. In a concave polygon, at least one interior
angle measures greater than 180° and less than 360° (reflex angle).

Illustrative Example:

Convex polygons

The given polygons below are convex polygons because if you extend their sides no part of it will pass
inside the polygon. Observe as well that each interior angle measures less than 180°.

PROOF
PROOF

Concave polygons

The given polygons below are concave polygons because if you extend their sides at least one of the
lines will pass inside the polygon. Observe as well that there is at least one interior angle that measures greater
than 180°.

PROOF PROOF

“That’s great! It is now your turn to identify if the polygon is convex or concave. Make sure to draw those
imaginary lines. I know you can do it!”

MATH 7 QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 Page 4 | 9

Activity 2.1 What Am I?
Write CONVEX if the given polygon is a concave polygon and CONCAVE if it is NOT.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

“Wow! What a good way to learn. It may seem hard at first but through constant practice, I know you will be
good at it. Keep on going! Try the next one!”

LESSON 3: KINDS OF POLYGONS ACCORDING TO SIDES AND ANGLES

Polygons are named according to the number of sides and angles. The chart below names some common
polygons.

NO. OF SUM OF NO. OF SUM OF

NAME OF NAME OF
SIDES/INTERIOR INTERIOR SIDES/INTERIOR INTERIOR
POLYGONS POLYGONS
ANGLES ANGLES ANGLES ANGLES
3 Triangle 180⁰ 13 Tridecagon 1 980⁰

4 Quadrilateral 360⁰ 14 Tetradecagon 2 160⁰

5 Pentagon 540⁰ 15 Pentadecagon 2 340⁰

6 Hexagon 720⁰ 16 Hexadecagon 2 520⁰

7 Heptagon 900⁰ 17 Heptadecagon 2 700⁰

8 Octagon 1 080⁰ 18 Octadecagon 2 880⁰

9 Nonagon 1 260⁰ 19 Enneadecagon 3 060⁰

10 Decagon 1 440⁰ 20 Icosagon 3 240⁰

11 Undecagon 1 620⁰ n n-gon (n-2)180⁰

12 Dodecagon 1 800⁰

After about twelve sides, mathematicians usually refer to these polygons as n-gon. So a 13-sided polygon is
called 13-gon.
When the sides of the polygon are congruent, then the polygon is equilateral. When the angles of a polygon
are congruent, then the polygon is equiangular. When the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular, then it
is a regular polygon.

Activity 3.2 MATH-art!

“Hello there! My name is Poly-bot! I am a simple robot made

of different polygons. Can you make a better version of me for
this new normal? Use your creative side to come up with Poly-
bot V. 2.0! What are you waiting for? Start your artwork now! ”

DIRECTION:

Draw your own version of Poly-bot. You can only use polygons in
making your work. You may color your work to make it even better.

Remember

The following are the concepts of polygons:

1. A polygon is a union of non-collinear segments, the sides, on a plane that meet at their endpoints,
the vertices, so that each endpoint (vertex) is contained by exactly two segments (sides).

2. A polygon is said to be convex if the lines containing the sides of the polygon do not cross the
interior of the polygon.

3. A polygon that is not convex is called non-convex or concave.

4. When the sides of a polygon are congruent, then the polygon is equilateral.

5. When the angles of a polygon are congruent, then the polygon is equiangular.

6. When the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular, then it is a regular polygon.
