GCSE Maths Practice: polygons

Question 10 of 10

This question tests general properties of regular polygons regardless of the number of sides.

‹

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following are true for a regular polygon?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

Check that all sides and angles are equal. The number of sides can vary.

All regular polygons have equal sides and equal angles, irrespective of the number of sides. This property ensures symmetry, and each interior angle can be calculated using (n-2) × 180° ÷ n. These properties are important for solving geometry problems, understanding diagrams, and performing calculations in GCSE polygon questions. Regular polygons are often used in design, tiling, and architectural problems, so knowing these features helps with visual and numeric reasoning. Recognizing these features also aids in identifying similarity and congruence when comparing polygons of different sizes.
