Module 2

Remember, a in order for a figure to be a polygon, it must have the following attributes:

  • more than 2 angles
  • more than 2 sides
  • more than 2 vertices
  • all straight sides
  • closed-shape
  • flat or 2-D

Now that we know what polygons are, let's take a look at the different types of polygons:

 

When all of the sides in a polygon are the same size, we call that a regular polygon.  When the sides are of different lengths, it is an irregular polygon.

Remember, a in order for a figure to be a...

As you've probably noticed, polygons are named for their number of sides.  In your math notebook, draw a chart like the one below to help you remember the names.
