regular polygons
All the hot tubs are regular polygons
The local hot tub suppliers have said they’ll rush through an order
for any hot tub in their range—all of which they describe as regular
polygons. The word regular is another way of saying equilateral—
all the sides are the same length—but it means the polygons have
some other useful properties as well.
What properties of the hot tubs do you need to work out to satisfy:
1. The bands?
2. The environment engineer?
3. The carpenters?
Our complete summer range...

Tubs can be any size, all depths 0.5m
When we say we regularly exceed
expectations we really mean it!
How does it help you that the tubs are all regular polygons?
The carpenters need to
make an appropriately sized
hole in the floor for the
tub to go in.
A polygon is simply any flat shape
with three or more sides. You’ve
already worked with a bunch of
them, like triangles and quads.
