9.1 Polygons
Polygons are closed two-dimensional shapes where their sides are made of straight lines.

This triangle is considered as a polygon. This is not a polygon. This is not a polygon.
Because all the ends are connected. Because it does not has Because the side is
closed side. not straight.

Parts of Polygon
2. Diagonal
- When the polygon is folded up along the axis of symmetry, sides will be overlapping each
other perfectly.
- In a regular polygon, number of axis of symmetry is equal to number of vertices.
- A regular polygon has sides which are of same length and interior angles.
