  1. POLYGONS – Introduction A polygon is closed plane figure with three or more sides. A stop sign is an example of a polygon. It has vertices and no segments intersect. STOP

  2. POLYGONS – Introduction A polygon is closed plane figure with three or more sides. A stop sign is an example of a polygon. It has vertices and no segments intersect. All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. These are all polygons

  3. POLYGONS – Introduction A polygon is closed plane figure with three or more sides. A stop sign is an example of a polygon. It has vertices and no segments intersect. All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. Lastly , they enclose space in a plane. These are all polygons

  4. POLYGONS – Introduction A polygon is closed plane figure with three or more sides. A stop sign is an example of a polygon. It has vertices and no segments intersect. All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. Lastly , they enclose space in a plane. There are points on, inside, and outside each polygon.

  5. POLYGONS – Introduction A polygon is closed plane figure with three or more sides. A stop sign is an example of a polygon. It has vertices and no segments intersect. All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. Lastly , they enclose space in a plane. These figures ARE NOT polygons. Does not close space and does not have segments joined with the endpoints of two other segments.

All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. Lastly , they enclose space in a plane. These figures ARE NOT polygons. Does not close space and does not have segments joined with the endpoints of two other segments. No sides or vertices

All segments of the polygon must intersect with two other segments at their endpoints. Lastly , they enclose space in a plane. These figures ARE NOT polygons. Sides intersect. Does not close space and does not have segments joined with the endpoints of two other segments. No sides or vertices

  8. POLYGONS – Introduction Polygons are named by their number of sides. The more familiar ones have 3, 4, 5, and 8 sides. The word polygon comes from the Greek language meaning “many angles”. Hence a triangle, “tri” means three, has three angles. STOP

Hence a triangle, “tri” means three, has three angles. Let’s name all the polygons from 3 – 10 sides. 4 3 6 5 7

  11. POLYGONS – Introduction Polygons are named by their number of sides. The more familiar ones have 3, 4, 5, and 8 sides. The word polygon comes from the Greek language meaning “many angles”. Hence a triangle, “tri” means three, has three sides. AFTER 10, just throw the number on front of the word “gon” An “n – gon”… 8 9 9 10

  12. POLYGONS – Introduction Polygons are classified as convex or concave. Convex - the easiest way to describe a convex polygon is it doesn’t collapse on itself. If I would extend the sides of the polygon, none of them would cut through the interior of the polygon.

  13. POLYGONS – Introduction Concave - these polygons collapse on themselves. They look like they have a “notch” in them. When I extend the sides, the line cuts through the polygon.

  14. POLYGONS – Introduction Concave - these polygons collapse on themselves. They look like they have a “notch” in them. When I extend the sides, the line cuts through the polygon. Also, two vertices of the polygon can be connected “outside” of the polygon.

  15. POLYGONS – Introduction Regular Polygons - convex - all sides are equal length ( equilateral ) - all angle measures are equal ( equiangular )

  16. POLYGONS – Introduction Regular Polygons - convex - all sides are equal length ( equilateral ) - all angle measures are equal ( equiangular ) EXAMPLES :

  17. POLYGONS – Introduction Irregular Polygons - convex OR concave - sides are not equal in length - all angle measures are NOT equal

  19. POLYGONS – Introduction To work with polygons we need to label them. When labeling their vertices, start at one vertice and then move clockwise in consecutive order. Don’t skip letters. A B C D
