11.1 Angle Measures in Polygons The sum of the measures of the interior
angles of a polygon depends on the number of sides.
Determining how many triangles are in each polygon will help you figure out the sum of the measures of the interior angles.
Sum of interior angles Draw all the diagonals from one vertex.
This will divide the polygon into triangles.
Polygon Interior Angle Theorem The sum of the measures of the interior
angles of a convex n-gon is (n-2)*180 .
The measure of each interior angle of a regular n-gon is
nn 180)2(
Examples Find the value of x.
Polygon Exterior Angle Theorem The sum of the measures of the exterior
angles of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360 .
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular n-gon is
n360
Example Find the value of x.

11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Regular Polygon: all sides are same length You know that the area of a triangle is
equal to A = ½ bh. If you are dealing with an equilateral
triangle there is a special formula: A =
(s = side)
341 2s
Example Find the area of an equilateral triangle
with 8-inch sides.
Vocabulary When dealing with a polygon, think of it as
if it were inscribed in a circle:
Vocabulary Center of a polygon: the same as the
center of the circumscribed circle Radius of the polygon: the same as the
radius of the circumscribed circle G is the center of the polygon GA is the radius

Vocabulary Apothem of the polygon: the distance from
the center to any side of the polygon. The apothem is the segment GH.

Area of a Regular Polygon The area of a regular n-gon with side
length s is half the product of the apothem a and the perimeter P.

Central angle of a regular polygon An angle whose vertex is the center and
whose sides contain two consecutive vertices of the polygon.
You can divide 360 by the number of sides (n) to find the measure of each central angle.
Examples Find the area of the regular octagon.
P = __________ Apothem = ___________ Area = _____

11.3 Similar Figures If two polygons are similar with the lengths
of corresponding sides in the ratio of a:b, then the ratio of their areas is a2:b2
Similar Figures The ratio of the lengths of corresponding
sides is 1:2. The ratio of the perimeters is also 1:2. The ratio of the areas is 1:4.
11.4 Circumference and Arc Length Circumference of a circle: the distance around the
circle.
Arc length: a portion of the circumference of a circle. Measure of an arc – degrees Length of an arc – linear units
The circumference C of a circle is: . .
d is the diameter of the circle r is the radius of the circle
dC rC 2
Arc Length Corollary The ratio of the length of a given arc to the
circumference is equal to the ratio of the measure of the arc to 360 .

Sector of a Circle Sector of a Circle: the region bounded by
two radii of the circle and their intercepted arc.
Area of a Sector The ratio of the area, A, of a sector of a
circle to the area of the circle is equal to the ratio of the measure of the intercepted arc to 360 .

11.6 Geometric Probability Probability is a number from 0 to 1 that
represents the chance that an event will occur.
Geometric Probability is a probability that involves a geometric measure such as length or area.
Probability and Length Let AB be a segment that contains the
segment CD. If a point K on AB is chosen at random, then the probability that it is on CD is:
P(Point K is on CD) = Length of CD Length of AB

Probability and Area Let J be a region that contains region M. If
a point K in J is chosen at random, then the probability that it is in region M is:
P(Point K is in region M) = Area of M Area of J
