Introduction To Polygons

The document introduces polygons, defining them as two-dimensional shapes with straight sides and at least three segments that intersect only at endpoints. It discusses regular polygons as those with equal sides and angles, and irregular polygons as not having equal sides or angles. Concave polygons have interior angles greater than 180 degrees, while convex polygons have interior angles that push outward and are less than 180 degrees. The document also names polygons based on their number of sides.

What is
01 a
polygon
•

•
? Polygon from the word “POLY” and “GON” means “many
angles”

Two-dimeensional closed shaped with straight lines

• The sides of a polygon must intersect only at the endpoints.


They cannot cross.

• Polygons must at least have 3 sides that are segments

REGULAR POLYGONS

• An Equilateral polygon has all sides equal


• An Equiangular polygon has all angles equal
• A REGULAR Polygon has all sides and all angles
equal –it is both equilateral and equiangular
EXAMPLES OF REGULAR

Progress:
Irregular polygons
• Irregular polygon is the opposite of the
regular polygon

• All sides are not equal in length nor


measure

• All angles are also not equal

• At least one of the sides or angles differ


from the others
Progress:
Convex and concave polygon
Convex polygon
• A polygon is said to be convex if the lines containing the sides of the polygon do not
cross the interior of the polygon. All convex polygons have an angle pushes
outwards and less than 180°.

angle
• A concave polygon is defined as
a polygon with one or more interior angles
greater than 180°. It looks sort of like a
vertex has been 'pushed in' towards the
inside of the polygon

A Polygon is a two-dimensional closed shape with straight sides. It has no
curve and an open surface. It can be classified as a regular or irregular
polygon. A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are in equal
length and all angles are all equal in measures while in an Irregular
polygon all of its sides are not equal in length and all angles are not
equal in measure. A polygon is said to be convex if the lines containing
the sides of the polygon do not cross the interior of the polygon,
otherwise, it is non-convex. All convex polygons have an angle that
pushes outwards and measures less than 180°
