POLYGONS
 polygons
are closed
Each plane isfigure
line segment calledformed by fitting
side of the polygon
and the endpoints
together where
segments the sides meet
end-to-end withiseach
called
the vertex intersecting

Classification of Polygons

Triangle Pentagon
a three-sided polygon a five-sided polygon

Quadrilateral Hexagon
a four-sided polygon a six-sided polygon

Heptagon
a seven-sided polygon
Classification of Polygons

Octagon Decagon
an eight-sided polygon a ten-sided polygon

Nonagon Undecagon
a nine-sided polygon an eleven-sided
polygon
Dodecagon
a twelve-sided polygon
Polygons

Diagonals are line segments that connect two

nonconsecutive vertices
W

V X Line segment VY is one of

the diagonals of pentagon
Z Y
VWXYZ
Polygons

Consecutive vertices
are vertices on the side of the polygon.

V X
Point V has the
consecutive vertex which
Z Y
is point W
Polygons

Consecutive angles
angles formed by the sides of the polygon.

V X Angle V has the

consecutive angle which is
Z Y
angle Z.
Polygons

Consecutive sides
are sides that have a common vertex.

W Segment VW has the

V X consecutive side segment
which is segment WX.
Z Y
Polygons

Convex Polygons
are polygons in which no diagonal is in the
exterior of the polygon.
Polygons

Concave Polygons
are polygons in which there is a diagonal in
the exterior of the polygon.
Polygons

EQUILATERAL POLYGONS
are polygons in which all sides have equal
length.
W

V X Pentagon VWXYZ is
an example of
Z Y equilateral polygon.
Polygons

EQUIANGULAR POLYGONS
are polygons in which all angles have
equal measures.
W

V X
Pentagon VWXYZ is
an example of
Z Y equiangular polygon.
Polygons

REGULAR POLYGONS
are polygons in which it is both equilateral
and equiangular.

V X
Pentagon VWXYZ is
an example of
Z Y equiangular polygon.
