I need someone to write this out for me like in a discussion so I can read it and write it in my own words please ASAP! Identify two regular and two irregular polygons in your home or community. How do you know they are regular or irregular? Give one example of each regular and irregular polygon that you noticed in your home or community. Do you think regular or irregular polygons are used more frequently in the design of objects and buildings in the world? Explain. Are there benefits of using regular over irregular polygons or irregular over regular polygons? Explain.
Why did you post it here? I answered you in 17 minutes.
Please don't waste our time when you have no intention of reading the answer.
Ms.Sue, "TheGrudyHippo" probably ran out of time and had to try and do it herself. It doesn't mean she blantantly ignored your answer, but she probably had to finish before going to bed or something of the sorts.
A polygon is a figure with at least three straight sides.

Regular polygons that I see are picture frames, table top, box of candy, closet door, etc. The only irregular polygon I see is the side edge of the range hood.
What do you find?
Thx but I already wrote it sorry!
If Andrew rode his bike for ten minutes at 30 RPM( Rotations per minute), how far (in inches) will he travel?
I have the same question
Sure! Let's break down your question into smaller parts for easier understanding.
Discussion:
Person A: In order to identify two regular and two irregular polygons in our home or community, we first need to understand the difference between regular and irregular polygons. Regular polygons have equal sides and equal angles, while irregular polygons have sides and angles of different lengths and measures. Can anyone provide an example of a regular polygon they've noticed in their home or community?
Person B: I've noticed a stop sign in my community. It has eight sides and all the sides are equal in length and all angles are equal, so it's a regular octagon.
Person C: That's a good example! Now, can we think of another regular polygon?
Person D: How about the tiles on the floor in my kitchen? They're all squares, and all sides and angles are equal, so they're regular polygons.
Person A: Excellent job in identifying regular polygons! Now, let's move on to irregular polygons. Can anyone provide an example of an irregular polygon they've noticed?
Person B: I've seen a picture frame in my home that has an irregular polygon shape. It has six sides, but the sides are not equal in length, and the angles in the corners are also different.
Person C: Great example! Can we think of another irregular polygon?
Person D: The planter outside my house has a pentagon shape, but the sides are not equal, so it's an irregular polygon.
Person A: Well done in identifying irregular polygons as well!
Person B: I think regular polygons are used more frequently in the design of objects and buildings in the world. Since regular polygons have symmetrical and predictable shapes, they are often preferred for aesthetic reasons and ease of manufacturing.
Person C: I agree, regular polygons tend to provide a sense of uniformity and order in design. However, irregular polygons can also be used creatively to create unique and eye-catching designs.
Person D: While there may be benefits to using regular polygons for their symmetry, irregular polygons offer more flexibility and can better fit irregular spaces or conform to specific design requirements.
Person A: Exactly! Regular polygons are often used for their simplicity and harmonious appearance, while irregular polygons allow for more artistic expression and adaptability. The choice between regular and irregular polygons ultimately depends on the specific design objectives and constraints.
Person B: Well said! Understanding the characteristics and applications of regular and irregular polygons helps us appreciate and analyze the design choices around us.
Person C: Agreed! It's important to observe our surroundings closely to discover the diverse range of polygons in our homes and communities.
Person D: Absolutely! By examining regular and irregular polygons, we gain a deeper understanding of the principles and aesthetics of design.
Person A: Thank you all for your insightful contributions!
