Regular Polygons - Properties Polygon A polygon is a plane shape (two-dimensional) with straight sides. Examples include triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and so on. Regular Here we will be looking at Regular Polygons only. Properties So what can we know about regular polygons? Example: What is the exterior angle of a regular octagon? An octagon has 8 sides, so: Exterior angle = 360°/n = 360°/8 = 45° Interior Angle = 180° - Exterior Angle We know the Exterior angle = 360°/n, so: Interior Angle = 180° - 360°/n Interior Angle = (n-2) × 180° / n Example: What is the interior angle of a regular octagon? Example: What are the interior and exterior angles of a regular hexagon? A regular hexagon has 6 sides, so: Exterior Angle = 360° / 6 = 60° Interior Angle = 180° - 60° = 120° And now for some names: "Circumcircle, Incircle, Radius and Apothem ..." Sounds quite musical if you repeat it a few times, but they are just the names of the "outer" and "inner" circles (and each radius) that can be drawn on a polygon like this: Graph

rolled paper flowers {tutorial} |&jones design company - StumbleUpon Welcome to flower week – five days of simple and delightful flower projects. I could probably do three weeks of flowers because there are so many different ways to create them, but I’ve limited it to five of my current favorites. Before we get started, let me make a few disclaimers: 1. 2. 3. Okay, so let’s begin. Here’s what you’ll need: :: paper {either cover or text weight} :: florist wire :: scissors, pencil, glue gun STEP ONE: cut irregular circle This circle is approximately 8 inches, but you can do any size you wish. STEP TWO: cut spiral Start at the outside edge and cut in a spiral fashion to the center. I like a sort of bumpy shape so that the petals end up a bit irregular If you aren’t so sure about your cutting skills, feel free to draw your spiral before cutting. To add a little interest to my bouquet, I used a variety of yellow scrapbook papers {my favorite is that yellow dot} STEP THREE: roll your blossom start at the outside edge and coil tightly STEP FOUR: release coil
I love spiky starburst shapes, so I attempted a version of the traditional Polish porcupine ball. Here's how to make this cool 3D ornament—great for Christmas or decorating any time. I can imagine jumbo sized versions hanging at parties or weddings. They take awhile, though, so you'd better start making them five years before you plan to get married. You'll need: Paper, scissors, a circular object for a template, a ruler, pencil, needle, thread, rubber band, and glue. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Sweet Peach - Home It's a funny thing- if you live in Atlanta and mention Revolution Doughnuts among friends, there are always a few people who start salivating on the spot. They shout out their favorites, "the Almond Joy Nut,"... "Nutella Cream Puff" or "Raspberry Sprinkle," and all this enthusiastic talk of scrumptious doughnuts reminds you how good this place really is. Maria Moore Riggs has always loved to bake. And so, with all of her savings and a lot of hard work, Maria opened Revolution Doughnuts in Decatur, Georgia during the summer of 2012. Maria is also a smart business woman. And the Baked Cake has a texture like a pound cake or a muffin. What she can guarantee is a fresh, delicious doughnut that is made from scratch that day. When I visited the shop, it was an all girls day in the kitchen. One of their most popular treats is the Caramel Bacon doughnut. As spring has just sprung, keep an eye out for the Fresh Strawberry Slider and then in the summer, the Peach Slider.
