On Explanation of Polygons in Galilean Geometry to High School Students ()
Abstract
In this paper, we have tried to indicate the own properties of polygons
in Galilean geometry using the Affine concepts as well. The relationships
between an angle and a side as well as the relationships between altitudes and
medians concepts, and comparison of some special polygons have been examined
carefully. In addition, the area concept has been mentioned. Finally, the paper
was completed with a new idea, Theorem 6.
