Geometry of Shape
BACKGROUND LESSON
LESSON 1: Definition, Parts & Classification of a Polygon
The word “polygon” comes from the Greek words “poly”, which means “many”, and “gon”,
which means “angles”.
A polygon is a closed figure made up of segments that intersect at their endpoints and no
two consecutive segments are collinear. Each line segment is a side of the polygon and each
endpoint is a vertex.
Polygons are named by writing their
consecutive vertices in order, such as
ABCDE or AEDCB or CDEAB or CBAED
for the figure on the right.
The following are NOT polygons:
Look at the figures below. Can you identify the parts/portion that are polygons by coloring it
red?

A polygon separates a plane into three sets of points:

 The polygon itself;
 Points in the interior (inside) of the polygon; &
 Points in the exterior (outside) of the polygon.

Polygons in Set A are called convex, while the polygons in Set B are called concave
(non-convex). A convex polygon has no vertices pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal
angle can be more than 180°. If any vertex pointing inwards and any internal angle is greater than
180° then the polygon is concave. (Think: concave has a "cave" in it)
Figure 1 is a convex
polygon. Figure 2 is a concave
polygon.

In the convex polygon ABCDE,∠ B AE∨∠ A ,∠ ABC∨∠ B ,∠ BCD∨∠ C ,

∠ CDE∨∠ D ,∧∠ AED∨∠ E are the interior angles, while ∠ MCD is an exterior angle.
Consecutive vertices are vertices on the same side of the polygon. Consecutive sides are sides
that have a common vertex. A diagonal is a segment joining non-consecutive vertices. Look at
Figure 3, some consecutive vertices are A and B, B and C, A and E, E and D. Some
consecutive sides are AE and ED; AB and BC. Some diagonals are AC and AD.
The different types of polygons in terms of congruency of parts are equilateral,
equiangular, and regular.
 A polygon is equilateral if all its sides are equal.
 A polygon is equiangular if all its angles are equal.
 A polygon is regular if it is both equilateral and equiangular.
Polygons have special names depending on their number of sides.
Name of Polygon Number of Sides Name of Polygon Number of Sides
Triangle 3 Octagon 8
Quadrilateral 4 Nonagon 9
Pentagon 5 Decagon 10
Hexagon 6 Undecagon 11
Heptagon 7 Dodecagon 12
Examples:
Polygons with more than 12 sides are often referred to as 13-gon, 14-gon, 15-gon and so
on. When the number of sides is not given, the polygon is simply called “n-gon.”
