What is an exterior angle?
An angle formed by one of the sides of a polygon and extension of its neighboring side.
200
What is an irregular polygon?
A polygon in which the sides do not have the same length or the angles do not have the same measure.
200
What is the angle sum of a polygon?
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon.
200
What are quadrilaterals?
These shapes have the least number of sides and will move freely when built.
200
What are diagonals?
These lines stabilize quadrilaterals by turning them into triangles and stopping their shifts.
400
What is an interior angle?
An angle inside the polygon.
400
What is 1260 degrees?
The angle sum of a regular nonagon.
400
What is the expression (n-2)?
The number of triangles that can be made from a polygon with n sides.
400
What is (a+b+c>d)?
For a quadrilateral to be made, this inequality must be true in the four sides a, b, c, and d, with d as the longest side.
400
What are triangles?
These polygons are often used for construction, due to their inability to shift.
600
What is the sum of both exterior and interior angles in a polygon with n sides?
The expression nx180 in a polygon with n sides
600
What is 1440 degrees?
The angle sum of a regular decagon.
600
What is the angle 180 degrees?
Congrats! You win a DAILY DOUBLE!!! Here is the answer: The angle sum of a triangle.
600
What are quadrilateral linkages?
These quadrilateral-based instruments are often used in windshield wipers, handcars, and reclining lawn chairs.
600
What is an hypotenuse?
The longest side of a triangle.
800
What is 360 degrees?
The exterior angle sum of a triangle
800
What is 1800 degrees?
The angle sum of a regular dodecagon.
800
What are concave polygons?
The polygons that will make splitting polygons into triangles a bit more difficult.(Tia and Cody's Methods)
800
What are frames, couplers, and cranks?
These are the components of quadrilateral linkages.
800
What is (a+b>c)?
With three line segments a, b, and c, and c as the hypotenuse of this imaginary triangle, this must be true for a, b, and c to make a triangle.
What is 360 degrees?
The exterior angle sum of any polygon
What is (n-2)x180?
The angle sum of a regular polygon with n sides.
What is the expression (nx180-360)?
Congrats! You win a DAILY DOUBLE!!! Here is the answer: The formula for the angle sum of a polygon with n sides using the fact that n triangles can be made from a point inside that polygon and the inside full turn does not belong to that polygon.
Who is Franz Grashof?
Congrats! You win a Daily Double! Here is the answer: This German mathematician devised an interesting principle for quadrilateral linkages in 1883.
What are bridges, towers, and pyramids?
3 locations in which triangles are used.
