8-5 Classifying Polygons Side Remember! Vertex Vertices is plural for vertex. Course 2 Triangles and rectangles are examples of polygons. A polygonis a closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments. Each line segment forms a sideof the polygon, and meets, but does not cross, another line segment at a common point. This common point is a vertex of a polygon. The polygon at left has six sides and six vertices.
8-5 Classifying Polygons Course 2 Additional Example 1: Identifying Polygons Determine whether each figure is a polygon. If it is not, explain why not. A. B. The figure is a polygon. It is a closed figure with 4 line segments. The figure is not a polygon. It is not a closed figure.
8-5 Classifying Polygons Course 2 Additional Example 1: Identifying Polygons Determine whether each figure is a polygon. If it is not, explain why not. C. D. The figure is not a polygon. The figure is not formed by line segments. The figure is not a polygon. There are line segments in the figure that intersect.

8-5 Classifying Polygons Course 2 Insert Lesson Title Here A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are congruent and all angles are congruent.
8-5 Classifying Polygons Course 2 Additional Example 3: Identifying and Classifying Regular Polygons Name each polygon and tell whether it is a regular polygon. If it is not, explain why not. B. A. The figure is a quadrilateral. It is not a regular polygon because all of the sides are not congruent. The figure is a regular quadrilateral. A regular quadrilateral is also called a square.
