Basic Geometric Terms . Point Line Line segment Ray Angle Plane -is an exact location in space or a flat surface -is a set of all points that extends infinitely in both directions -is a part of the line with two end points -starts from one point and extend infinitely in one direction -is formed when two rays meet at a common endpoint -is a flat two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far
Visualizing, Naming, Describing, and Drawing Polygons with Five or More Sides LESSON 1
Polygon A polygon is a closed 2-dimensional figure made up of three or more straight line segments . Each line segment on a polygon is a side . Each corner, or vertex , of a polygon forms an angle . 3 sides . . . 3 vertices 3 angles TRIANGLE

Complete the chart by counting the parts for each regular polygon.
Describing and Comparing Properties of Polygons (Regular and Irregular) LESSON 2
A regular polygon has same length in sides and same measurement in angles . Regular Pentagon Irregular Pentagon
Regular Polygons Irregular Polygons
Visualizing Congruent Polygons LESSON 3
Two polygons are congruent if their corresponding sides have equal lengths , and their corresponding angles measure the same .
How to Draw a Regular Polygon Using a Protractor Materials: 1. Protractor 2. Ruler 3. Pencil
How to Draw a Regular Polygon Using a Protractor 1. Draw a straight line using the protractor. This will be the center line of your circle (dividing it into semi-circles). Procedures: 2. Align the protractor so that both 0° and 180° lie on the center line. Mark the center point. 3 . Calculate the angle between adjacent vertices, by dividing 360 by the number of sides. 4 . Mark a point for each of the successive angles. 5 . Using the ruler, joint the points marked on the circle with a line segment 6 . Check to see that the sides are the same length. If they are, you can erase the other marks made to make it now a polygon. .
Draw the congruent polygon of the figure at the left using the grid at the right.
