Examples of polygons: Convex Polygon Concave Polygon
Polygon • Means: “many-angled” • A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of coplanar segments • Each segment intersects only at each endpoint.
Two Types of Polygons: • Convex: If diagonals are drawn from the vertices of a polygon, all will be on the interior of the polygon
2. Concave: If diagonals are drawn from the vertices of a concave polygon, at least one diagonal will be exterior to the polygon. Visually, the polygon looks caved-in
Polygons are classified according to the number of sides they have. *A polygon must have at least 3 sides .
Special Names for Polygons *n stands for number of sides. 23 23-gon
Naming a Polygon Polygon ABCDE • Begin at any point • Follow the path of the polygon either clockwise or counterclockwise • MUST stay in order • Polygon Names • DCBAE • AEDCB • CDEAB…. E A D B C
Diagonal The diagonal of a polygon is a line segment linking two non-adjacentvertices. Adjacent – next to *The diagonals are indicated with dashed lines.
Diagonals in a Polygon 20 35 *n stands for number of sides.
Equilateral Polygon Equilateral polygons are polygons in which all sides have equal lengths
Equiangular Polygon Equiangular polygons are polygons in which all angles have equal measures
RegularPolygon: A regular polygon is a polygon that is equilateral AND equiangular
