Expert verified
A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric object which is made up of straight and closed segments. They can have three or more sides.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Term

A polygon is a significant term in geometry. So, it needs to be understood first.
02

Define the Term

A polygon is defined as a two-dimensional geometric object which is made up of segments (sides) straight in shape and closed. The smallest number of sides a polygon can have is three.
03

Examples

Polygons are usually named according to the number of sides they have. For instance, a polygon with three sides is referred to as a triangle and with four sides as a Quadrilateral.

Stonehenge, the famous "stone circle" in England, was built between 2750 B.C. and 1300 B.C. using solid stone blocks weighing over 99,000 pounds each. It required 550 people to pull a single stone up a ramp inclined at a \(9^{\circ}\) angle. Describe how right triangle trigonometry can be used to determine the distance the 550 workers had to drag a stone in order to raise it to a height of 30 feet.

If you are given the lengths of the sides of a right triangle, describe how to find the sine of either acute angle.

The tallest television transmitting tower in the world is in North Dakota. From a point on level ground 5280 feet (one mile) from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is \(21.3^{\circ}\). Approximate the height of the tower to the nearest foot.

Describe a difference between the shapes of man-made objects and objects that occur in nature.

Describe what happens to the tangent of an angle as the measure of the angle gets close to \(90^{\circ}\).
