Problem of the Day
Jeffrey planted four carnations, three
dahlias, seven marigolds, five cornflowers,
one geranium, and four mums. He forgot
to water them and on each of the two
following days, half the remaining flowers
died. How many flowers were still living at
the end of the second day? 6

The cross section of a
brilliant-cut diamond is a
pentagon. The most
beautiful and valuable
diamonds have precisely
cut angles that maximize
the amount of light they
reflect.
A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three
or more segments. A polygon is named by the
number of its sides.

The pattern is that the number of triangles is
always 2 less than the number of sides. So
an n-gon can be divided into n – 2 triangles.
The sum of the angle measures of any n-gon
is 180°(n – 2).
All the sides and angles of a regular
polygon have equal measures.

Additional Example 2A: Finding the Measure of Each
Angle in a Regular Polygon
Find the angle measures in the regular
polygon.
6 congruent angles
6x = 180°(6 – 2)
6x = 180°(4)
6x = 720°
6x = 720°
