Polygons A polygon is a closed figure formed by sides. The vertex of each angle is a vertex of the polygon. A polygon is named by the letters of its vertices, written in order of consecutive vertices.
Not Polygons Polygons
Concave Polygons Contains vertices in the interior of the polygon. If you were to draw lines containing each side of the polygon there would be lines crossing through the interior of the polygon.
Convex Polygons No vertices are in the interior of the polygon. If you draw lines containing the sides there would be no points in the interior.
An equilateral polygon is a polygon in which all sides are congruent. An equiangular polygon is a polygon in which all angles are congruent. A convex polygon that is both equilateral and equiangular is called a regular polygon.
Name each polygon by its number of sides. Then classify it as convex or concave and regular or irregular. A.) B.) C.) D.)
Perimeter, Circumference, and Area • The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the polygon. • The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. • The area of a figure is the number of square units needed to cover a surface.
