 Polygons are many-sided figures, with sides

that are line segments. Polygons are named
according to the number of sides and angles
they have.
 Can be “regular” – all sides and all angles are
equal to each other
 Two sides of equal
length
 Three acute angles
 Sum of angles = 180°
 All sides equal length
 Three acute angles
 Sum of angles = 180°
 Is a regular polygon
 No sides are equal
 No angles are equal
 May have obtuse angle
 Sum of angles = 180 °
 Opposite sides are
parallel
 Opposite side are
equal in length
 Each angle equals 90°
 Sum of angles = 360°
 All sides equal
 All angles equal and
are 90 ° each
 Sum of angles = 360 °
 Is a regular polygon
 Two sides are parallel
 Has obtuse and acute
angles
 Sometimes has a right
angle
 Sum of angles = 360 °
 All four sides of equal
length
 Opposite angles are
equal – 2 acute angles,
2 obtuse angles
 Sum of angles = 360 °
 Regular polygon
 Opposite sides parallel
 Opposite sides equal in
length
 Opposite angles equal
 Sum of angles = 360 °
 5 sides
 Sum of angles = 540 °
 Regular polygon
 6 sides
 Sum of angles = 720 °
 Can be regular polygon
 8 sides
 Sum of angles = 1080 °
 Can be regular polygon
 10 sides
 Sum of angles = 1440°
