UNDERSTAND THE IMAGE

A dodecagon has 12 sides and 12 vertices.

A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 straight sides. This diagram shows a regular dodecagon: all its sides have equal length and all its interior angles are equal. An irregular dodecagon still has 12 sides, but its sides and angles do not all have to be equal.

Try it in class

  • Choose a starting vertex, then count all 12 sides without counting the first side twice.
  • Point to a side and a vertex. Explain how they are different.
  • Compare this shape with another polygon. What changes when you add one side?
