Polygon - math word problems

Examples of a regular polygon (polygon). Polygon is a closed part of the plane bounded by a broken line. Points that define a polygon are the polygon vertices. The number of vertices, sides, and interior angles in a polygon is the same, and this number specifies the name of the polygon: triangle, quadrangle, pentagon, etc.

  1. Interior angles
    circle_inscribed_polygon In a quadrilateral ABCD, whose vertices lie on some circle, the angle at vertex A is 58 degrees and the angle at vertex B is 134 degrees. Calculate the sizes of the remaining interior angles.
  2. Pentagonal prism
    penta-prism The regular pentagonal prism is 10 cm high. The radius of the circle of the described base is 8 cm. Calculate the volume and surface area of the prism.
  3. Triangular prism
    hranol3b_1 Calculate the surface of a regular triangular prism, the edges of the base are 6 cm long and the height of the prism is 15 cm.
  4. Five-gon

  8. Quadrilateral pyramid
    ihlan_rez In a regular quadrilateral pyramid, the side edge is e = 7 dm and the diagonal of the base is 50 cm. Calculate the pyramid shell area.
  9. Triangular pyramid
    triangularPyramid A regular tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid whose base and walls are identical equilateral triangles. Calculate the height of this body if the edge length is a = 8 cm
  10. Wall height
    hexa_pyramid Calculate the height of a regular hexagonal pyramid with a base edge of 5 cm and a wall height w = 20 cm.
  11. Hexa pyramid
    hexa_pyramid_1 The base of the regular pyramid is a hexagon, which can be described by a circle with a radius of 1 m. Find the volume of the pyramid 2.5 m high.
  12. Regular hexagonal pyramid
    hexa_pyramid Calculate the height of a regular hexagonal pyramid with a base edge of 5 cm and a wall height of w = 20cm. Sketch a picture.
  13. Octagonal pyramid
    octagonl_pyramid2 Find the volume of a regular octagonal pyramid with height v = 100 and the angle of the side edge with the plane of the base is α = 60°.

  15. Hexagon
    hexa_prism Calculate the surface of a regular hexagonal prism whose base edge a = 12cm and side edge b = 3 dm.
  16. Irregular pentagon
    paper A rectangle-shaped, 16 x 4 cm strip of paper is folded lengthwise so that the lower right corner is applied to the upper left corner. What area does the pentagon have?
  17. Heptagonal pyramid
    truncated_hexagonal_pyramid A hardwood for a column is in the form of a frustum of a regular heptagonal pyramid. The lower base edge is 18 cm and the upper base of 14 cm. The altitude is 30 cm. Determine the weight in kg if the density of the wood is 10 grams/cm3.
  18. Each with each
    tenis_3 Five pupils from 3A class played table tennis. How many matches did they play with each other?
  19. Octagonal tank
    octagon_prism The tank has the shape of a regular octagonal prism without an upper base. The base edge has a = 3m, the side edge b = 6m. How much metal sheet is needed to build the tank? Do not think about losses or sheet thickness.
