Polygons

Polygons are plane figures that satisfy the following conditions:

1 consists of a number of points (called _______________ ) and

an equal number of straight line segments (called ____________ ) joining

the consecutive pairs of points.

2 No three consecutive points are collinear

which means no three points will form a __________________
