% Purpose: Take input and produce the centroid, number of sides, area, and perim
eter for a polygon
% Solution: Used a series of functions and for loops to find the required items
function [out] = polyprop(x)
out.numsides = numsides(x); % Gives
out.area = area(x); % Gives area of
out.perimeter = polyper(x); % Gives
out.centroid = polycen(x); % Center
end
