88 Chapter 1 Area f Plygs Area f Plygs 1.1 Plyg A plae figure buded by a umber f straight lies is called plyg. A plyg is said t be regular whe all its sides ad agles are equal. A five sided plyg is called a petag. A six sided plyg is called a hexag. A seve sided plyg is called a heptag. A eight sided plyg is called a ctag. A ie sided plyg is called a ag. A te sided plyg is called a decag. A twelve sided plyg is called a ddecag. Iscribed Plyg If a circle passes thrugh the crers f a plygs the this plyg is called iscribed plyg ad the circle is called the circumscribed circle. If the iscribed plyg is a regular plyg the cetre f the circle is als the cetre f the plyg. I the figure is the cetre f the plyg ad OF is the radius f the circumscribed circle ad is deted by R. Fig. Circumscribed Plyg: Fig.1 A plyg which is draw utside a circle s that the sides tuch circumfereces f the circle. I this case circle is called iscribed circle. If the plyg is regular the the cetre f the circle is als the cetre f the plyg. The radius f the iscribed circle is deted by r i the figure OG r
