- Polygon
A simple closed curve made of line segments only is called a polygon. All the following figures are polygons. The line-segments of a polygon are named by the sides in it.
Solution. A Polygon is a closed figure made up of line segments (not curves) in a two-dimensional plane. Polygon is the combination of two words, i.e. poly (means many) and gon (means sides). A minimum of three line segments is required to connect end to end, to make a closed figure.
- Is It A polygon?
- Types of Polygons
- Remembering
Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes. They are made of straight lines, and the shape is "closed" (all the lines connect up).
Regular or Irregular
A regular polygon has all angles equal and all sides equal, otherwise it isirregular
Concave or Convex
A convexpolygon has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angle can be more than 180°. If any internal angle is greater than 180° then the polygon is concave. (Think: concave has a "cave" in it)
Simple or Complex
A simple polygon has only one boundary, and it doesn't cross over itself. A complexpolygon intersects itself! Many rules about polygons don't work when it is complex.
Quadrilateral
A QuadBike has 4 wheels
Pentagon
The "Pentagon" in Washington DC has 5 sides
Hexagon
Honeycomb has Hexagons
Polygon is a closed shape made up of straight-line segments. The circle is a closed figure but it is made of a curve. So, a circle is not a polygon.
- A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment connecting two non-consecutive vertices (corners).
- A Regular polygon has all sides of equal length and each angle also measures equal.
- A polygon must have a minimum of three sides.
- No, polygons have the same number of sides and angles because they are closed figures with non-intersecting lines.

A polygon is any closed curve consisting of a set of line segments (sides) connected such that no two segments cross. The simplest polygons are triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons.
