Polygons whose sides are equal are called equilateral polygons. Polygons with equal interior angles are called equiangular polygons. Polygons that are both equilateral and equiangular are called regular polygons. The area of a regular polygon can be found by considering one segment, which has the form of an isosceles triangle.

There are two basic types of polygons, a convex and a concave polygon. A convex polygon is one in which no side, when extended, will pass inside the polygon, otherwise it called concave polygon. The following figure is a convex polygon. 4 4 3
