Tuesday Sept.22, 2020

Today we had a C4U on diagonals, triangles, sum of interior angles, and one interior angle for polygons.

We then worked on the following (ruler and protractor needed):

1. Construct a regular heptagon with a perimeter of 21 cm. Sow the total number of diagonals. How do you know you are correct?

2. Construct a regular octagon with a perimeter of 32 cm. Show the total number of triangles from ONE vertex; How do you know you are correct?
