Constructing Polygons and Solving Problems Involving Polygons
Triangle a polygon having three sides. can be classified according to angles and sides.
A. According to Angles Acute triangle is a triangle whose angles are all acute. Right triangle is a triangle with a right angle. Obtuse triangle is a triangle with an obtuse angle. Equiangular triangle is a triangle with all angles congruent.
A. According to Sides Scalene triangle is a triangle with no equal sides. Isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. Equilateral triangle is a triangle with all sides congruent.
Quadrilateral a four-sided polygon. The diagram shows the different kinds of quadrilaterals.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel. A rhombus (plural: rhombi) is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four congruent angles. Each interior angle measures 90 O .
A s quare is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four congruent angles. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel. An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid whose non-parallel sides are congruent. A trapezium is a quadrilateral with no pair of opposite sides that are parallel.

Example 2: Construct a square having 4 cm as length of each side. Step 1: Draw π΄π΅Μ Μ Μ Μ of length 4 cm. Extend π΄π΅Μ Μ Μ Μ to the right. Step 2: Draw an arc on each side π΅ using any compass width. Label these π and π.
Step 3: With the compass on π and any width, draw an arc above π΅. Step 4: Without changing the width, draw an arc using point π and name it π. Example 2: Construct a square having 4 cm as length of each side.
Step 5: Draw a line perpendicular from π΅ to π. Step 6: Set the compass on π΄ and set its width to the length of π΄π΅ which is 4 cm. Example 2: Construct a square having 4 cm as length of each side.
Step 7: Using point A make an arc above π΄ and using point π΅ make an arc above π΅, label it πΆ. Example 2: Construct a square having 4 cm as length of each side.
Step 8: Move the compass to πΆ and make an arc on the left of πΆ, then label it π· Step 9: Connect points C and D; points D and A. Example 2: Construct a square having 4 cm as length of each side.
