A polygon is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain. The
segments of a closed polygonal chain are called its edges or sides. The points where two edges meet are
the polygon's vertices or corners.

A triangle is a polygon with three sides having three vertices. The angle formed inside the triangle is
equal to 180 degrees. It means that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.
 It is a regular polygon with three sides.
 All three sides are equal in length. Equilateral
 All three angles are congruent and equal 60º.

 It has no equal sides.


 It has no equal angles. Scalene
 It has no line of symmetry.
 It has no point symmetry.

 two equal sides


 two equal angles, Isosceles
 three edges
 three vertices
 the sum of internal angles of a triangle equal to 1800.

 One angle is always 90° or right angle.


 The side opposite angle of 90° is the hypotenuse. Right angle
 The hypotenuse is always the longest side.
 The sum of the other two interior angles is equal to 90°.

 An acute triangle has all interior angles measured less than 90° degrees.
 The side opposite to the smallest angle is the smallest side of the triangle. Acute
 The square of the longest side is less than the sum of the squares of two smaller sides.
 The points of concurrency, Centroid, Incenter, Circumcenter and Orthocenter lie inside the
triangle.

 The sum of the two angles other than the obtuse angle is less than 90°.
 The side opposite the obtuse angle is the longest side of the triangle. Obtuse
 An obtuse triangle will have one and only one obtuse angle.
 The other two angles are acute angles.
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, having four edges and four corners. The word is derived from the
Latin words Quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning "side".

A pentagon is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is
540°. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting.
a hexagon is a six-sided polygon. The total of the internal angles of any simple hexagon is 720°.
A heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the
septagon, using "sept-" together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle.
An octagon is a closed two-dimensional figure with eight sides, eight vertices and eight interior angles. If
all the sides and interior angles of an octagon are of equal measure, then it is called a regular octagon
otherwise an irregular octagon.
A nine-sided shape is a polygon called a nonagon. It has nine straight sides that meet at nine corners, or
vertices. The word "nonagon" comes from the Latin word "nona", meaning nine, and "gon", meaning
sides. So, it literally means "nine-sided shape".

A decagon is a ten-sided polygon or 10-gon. The total sum of the interior angles of a simple decagon is
1440°.
A hendecagon (also undecagon or endecagon) or 11-gon is an eleven-sided polygon. (The name
hendecagon, from Greek hendeka "eleven" and –gon "corner", is often preferred to the hybrid undecagon,
whose first part is formed from Latin undecim "eleven".)

Dodecagon is one of the types of polygons that has 12 sides, 12 vertices and 12 angles. Similar to other
polygons, a dodecagon is also a two-dimensional plane figure. A regular dodecagon polygon has 12 equal
sides and has 12 equal measures of angles. Irregular dodecagons have unequal sides and angles.

Classes of Fires & Fire Extinguishers - Safety | UCLA Health

 There are four classes of fires:

Class A: Ordinary solid combustibles such as paper, wood, cloth and some plastics.
Class B: Flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, oil, gasoline and grease, which are best
extinguished by smothering.
Class C: Electrical equipment, appliances and wiring in which the use or a nonconductive
extinguishing agent prevents injury from electrical shock. Don’t use water.
Class D: Certain flammable metallic substances such as sodium and potassium. These materials
are normally not found in the Medical Center.
