<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Polygons</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Angle</strong> <strong>Relationships</strong> (pp. 2 of 7)<br />

Geometry<br />

HS Mathematics<br />

Unit: 12 Lesson: 01<br />

7. Based on the data in your table, write a function for the interior angle sum of a polygon in<br />

terms of the number of sides of a polygon.<br />

8. What is the significance of the coefficient of the variable that represents the number of sides of<br />

the polygon in your function? Explain.<br />

9. Sketch a graph of the function in question 7.<br />

10. What is the domain <strong>and</strong> range of the function you graphed in question 8?<br />

11. Are there parts of the graph that do not represent the pattern generated by the data in the<br />

table? Explain. What is an appropriate domain <strong>and</strong> range given the context of the problem<br />

setting? Explain your reasoning.<br />

12. Use the function you wrote in question 7 to predict the interior angle sum for a 12 sided<br />

polygon.<br />

13. Use the function you wrote in question 7 to determine the type of polygon that has an interior<br />

angle sum of 1080.<br />

14. Is it possible to have a polygon with an interior angle sum of 2430? Why or why not?<br />
