Oct 24, 2023 · Step-by-step Guide: Classifying Polygons. Understanding Polygons: A polygon is a closed, two-dimensional shape formed by straight line segments. The point where two segments meet is called a vertex, and the segments themselves are the sides. Classifying by Number of Sides: riangle (3 sides) Quadrilateral (4 sides) Pentagon (5 sides) Hexagon (6 ...

So, what is a polygon? A polygon is a closed sided figure, formed by three or more segments that never cross. And we can further identify it’s type as either convex, concave or regular. A convex polygon is when no line that contains a side of the polygon includes a point in the interior of the polygon. And a concave polygonis one that is not convex...
But how do we name a polygon? Polygons are named by the number of sides they have! And just like there are some incredible properties about triangles, there are some important theorems and properties regarding quadrilaterals. As in a triangle, quadrilaterals have both interior and exterior angles, and the sum of the interior angles in any quadrilat...

The following lists the different types of polygons and the number of sides that they have: A triangle is a three‐sided polygon. A quadrilateral is a four‐sided polygon. A pentagon is a five‐sided polygon. A hexagon is a six‐sided polygon. A septagon or heptagon is a seven‐sided polygon. An octagon is an eight‐sided polygon.
A Polygon is Convex if no line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon. Every interior angle in a convex polygon is less than 180°. A polygon that is not convex is called non convex or Concave. Sample Problem 1: Tell whether the figure is a polygon and whether it is convex or concave.
State the number of sides. The polygon has 6 6 sides. 2 Recall the definition. A regular polygon has sides that are the same length and angles that are the same size. An irregular polygon has sides that are not the same length and angles that are the same size.

Nov 1, 2024 · Solution: To see if a polygon is concave, look at the polygons and see if any angle “caves in” to the interior of the polygon. The first polygon does not do this, so it is convex. The other two do, so they are concave. You could add here that concave polygons have at least one diagonal outside the figure.
