Polygons and Logical Statements

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
Polygon   An enclosed figure created by the union of line segments, where endpoints meet at vertices, and no line segments overlap.  
🗑
Convex Polygon   A polygon without indentations. Rubber band rule: the rubberband will touch all vertices and line segments of a convex polygon.  
🗑
Concave Polygon   A polygon with an indentation(s). Rubber band rule: the rubberband will not touch all vertices and line segments; there will be a diagonal outside of the polygon.  
🗑
Polygonal region   A shaded-in polygon, where all points in the polygon are part of the region.  
🗑
Intersection of two (or more) sets of data   The values in common, or the overlap, in two or more sets of data.  
🗑
Union of two (or more) sets of data   All values that are in each set and the intersection.  
🗑
The Null Set or Empty Set   If two sets of data do not have any values in the intersection, their intersection is the empty set { }.  
🗑
Antecedant   The hypothesis, the part of a conditional that follows the "if" part.  
🗑
Consequent   The conclusion, the part of a conditional that follows the "then" part.  
🗑
A conditional   An If-Then statement.  
🗑
An instance of the conditional   The "If P" and the "then Q" parts are both true in the conditional.  
🗑
Counterexample   Keeping the if-part "P" in a conditional the same, and changing the then part "Q" to be different.  
🗑
Converse   Switching the antecedant (if part) and consequent (then part) in a conditional.  
🗑
Biconditional   If P implies Q is true, and Q implies P is true, a biconditional can be created such that "P if and only if Q"; a double arrow is used for bi conditional notation.  
🗑
Scalene Triangle   A triangle where there are no congruent side lengths or angles.  
🗑
Isosceles Triangle   A triangle with at least two congruent side lengths, and at least two congruent angles.  
🗑
Equilateral Triangle   A triangle whose side lengths are all the same.  
🗑
Equiangular Triangle   A triangle whose angles are all the same measure.  
🗑
Is an Isosceles triangle equilateral?   No, only if the isosceles triangle has all three side lengths being the same.  
🗑
Is an equilateral triangle isosceles?   Yes! An equilateral triangle will always have at least two sides congruent.  
🗑
Triangle   3 sided polygon  
🗑
Quadrilateral   4 sided polygon  
🗑
Pentagon   5 sided polygon  
🗑
Hexagon   6 sided polygon  
🗑
Heptagon   7 sided polygon  
🗑
Octagon   8 sided polygon  
🗑
Nonagon   9 sided polygon  
🗑
Decagon   10 sided polygon  
🗑
Dodecagon   12 sided polygon  
🗑
N-gon   A polygon with n number of sides.  
🗑
Triangle Inequality Postulate   In triangle ABC, AB + BC > AC.  
🗑
Conjecture   A hypothesis, an opinion, a stereotype. Conjectures are NOT ALWAYS true.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
