Edges can only meet at vertices, each vertex has exactly two edges that meet there, and each of the interior angles measures less than 180°.A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices (adjacent vertices share an edge between them). Q: How many diagonals convex polygons have and write a conjecture about the number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon. The number of unique diagonals that can be drawn in a convex, n-sided polygon is___ Prove this conjecture via induction (Note that n>3).arrow_forwardIf a polygon is convex, then all its points must lie inside the interior of each of its vertex angles. (True / False) For example... If a polygon is convex, then all its interior angles must be less than 180°. (True / False) For example... If the angle at each vertex of the polygon contains all other vertices in its edge and interior, then the polygon is convex. (True / False) For example... If all the diagonals of a polygon lie inside the polygon, then the polygon is convex. (True / False) For example...arrow_forward
- . On that 5 x 5 square lattice be imaginative and creative in such a way that you can draw the following: (1) A rectangle that is not a square. (2) An scalene triangle. (3) A trapezoid with one right angle. (4) A parallelogram that is not a rectangle. (5) A rhombusarrow_forwardConsider parallelogram ABCD. How can it be proven that the diagonals bisect each other? Drag tiles to the empty boxes to correctly complete each part of the proof. AB¯ ∥DC¯¯ because it is -- AB¯¯¯¯≅ DC¯¯ because opposite sides of parallelograms are congruent. ∠BAC≅∠DCA because they are --- angles. ∠AEB ≅∠CED because they are --- angles. △AEB ≅△CED because ---. BE¯ ≅ DE¯ and AE¯ ≅ CE¯ because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. So, AC¯ bisects BD¯ and BD¯ bisectsAC¯ because of the definition of a segment bisector. Answer choices ( go in the --- ) : AAS ; ASA ; SAS ; SSS ; given ; corresponding ; verticle ; alternate interior ; alternate exterior ; same-side interior.arrow_forwardSuppose that the side lengths of one of a pair of 5-con trianglesare given by the numbers (a, b, c), where a<b<c. Suppose the other triangle in the 5-con pair is a scaled version of the first triangles by a factor of k, where k>1. (That is, the side lengths of the second triangle are (ka, kb, kc).) Prove that the side lengths ofthe original triangle must be of the form (a, ak, ak2), that is the side lengths must be triples from a geometric sequence.arrow_forward
