REGULAR POLYGONS.

Describe a circle of radius 5 cm.; at its centre O

draw two lines at right angles to cut the circle at A, B, C, D. Join AB, BC, CD, DA. Measure each of these lines and each of the angles ABC, BCD, CDA, DAB.

A square has all its sides equal and all its angles right angles.

Describe a circle of radius 5 cm.; at its centre

make a set of angles each equal to 60° (i.e. 360°);

join the points where the arms cut the circle; the figure you obtain is a hexagon (6-gon), and it is said to be inscribed in the circle. Measure each angle and side.

A figure bounded by equal straight lines, which has all its angles equal, is called a regular polygon.

A figure of 3 sides is called a triangle (▲).

The corners of a triangle or polygon are called its vertices.

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of its sides.

Ex. 71. What is the perimeter of a regular 6-gon, each of whose sides is 2.7 in. long?

Ex. 72. In a circle of radius 5 cm. make a regular pentagon (5-gon) as in Ex. 70; the angles you make at the centre must all be equal and there will be five of them; what is each angle?

Ex. 73. Calculate the angle at the centre for each of the following regular polygons; inscribe each in a circle of radius 5 cm.

(i) 8-gon, (ii) 9-gon, (iii) triangle, (iv) 10-gon, (v) 16-gon. Ex. 74. Make a table of the results of Ex. 73.

Ex. 75. Explain in your own words a simple construction for a regular hexagon depending on the fact you discovered in Ex. 70, that each side of the hexagon was equal to the radius of the circle.

PATTERN DRAWING.

Copy fig. 33, taking 5 cm. for the radius of the large circle. The dotted lines are at right angles to one another. How will you find the centres of the small circles?

If you describe only part of a circle, the curve you make is called an arc of the circle.

Ex. 77. Copy fig. 34, taking 5 cm. for the radius of the circle. The six points on the circle are the vertices of a regular hexagon (see Ex. 75); each of these points is the centre of one of the arcs.

Ex. 78. Copy fig. 35, taking 5 cm. for the radius of the circle. The centres of the arcs are the midpoints of the sides of a square inscribed in the circle.

Ex. 79. Copy fig. 36, taking 5 cm. for the radius of the circle. The angles between the dotted lines are equal; what size is each of these angles? The centres of the arcs are the midpoints of the dotted lines.
