So, polygons must have: Segments Consecutive sides intersect only at endpoints Nonconsecutive sides should not intersect Each vertex must belong to only two sides Segments must meet at a vertex Consecutive sides must be noncollinear
To name a polygon begin at any vertex and proceed either clockwise or counterclockwise around the figure. A B C F E D
Definition: A convex polygon is a polygon in which each interior angle has a measure less than 180. Convex Not convex (concave)
Definition: A diagonal of a polygon is any segment that connects two nonconsecutive (nonadjacent) vertices of the polygon.
What is a quadrilateral? It is a four-sided polygon.
Special Quadrilaterals Trapezoid A quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of parallelsides (bases). Isosceles A trapezoid in which the non- Trapezoid parallel sides (legs) are congruent. (lower and upper base angles) Kite A quad with 2 disjoint pairs of consecutive congruent sides. Sketch What is a …
Parallelogram A quad with 2 sets of parallel sides. Rhombus A parallelogram in which at least two consecutive sides are congruent. What is a Sketch
