A. Introduction In your Elementary days you learned about polygons, its angles and sides. Let us
have first a review.
Let us first define the term polygon. Look at the figures below.

The following are polygons:

10 minutes The following are not polygons:

Which of the following illustrate a polygon?

A. B. C. D.

A and D illustrate a polygon.

Definition,  Parts  and  Classification  of  a  Polygon

The word “polygon” comes from two words “poly” which means “many” and “gon”
which means “angles. A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by line segments.
Which of these are convex polygons?
A. B. C. D.

C and D are examples of convex polygons. Did you get it correctly? If Yes, good job.

B. Development Consider the following sets of polygons:

Set A

30 minutes

Set B

What did you observe in Set A and Set

B?
Polygons in Set A are called convex, while the polygons in Set B are non-convex. A
polygon is said to be convex if the lines containing the sides of the polygon do not cross the
interior of the polygon. A polygon that is not convex is called non-convex or concave.
When all the angles and sides of a polygon are equal, the polygon is called regular.
Can you name a regular three-sided polygon? How about a four-sided regular polygon? The

segments forming the polygon are called sides. The points where the segments meet are called
vertices. The angles formed by two adjacent sides are called the angles of the polygon.
Polygons are named by writing their consecutive vertices in a clockwise or counterclockwise
rotation.
The polygon at the right can be named as: ABCDE or BCDEA 
or CDEAB or DEABC. While the following are the:

Vertices : A, B, C, D and E.
Sides: AB´ , BC´ , CD´ , DE
´ and ´ .
EA
Angles: ∠ A , ∠ B, ∠ C , ∠ D and ∠ E .
A polygon separates a plane into three sets of points: the points on the polygon, points
polygon, points in the interior (inside) of the polygon, and
points in the exterior (outside) of the polygon.
There are two types of angles associated with a convex polygon: exterior angle and interior
angle. An exterior angle of a convex polygon is an angle that is both supplement and adjacent to
one of its interior angles.
In the convex polygon ABCDE, ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, , 
∠CDE and ∠E are the interior angles, while 
∠MDC is an exterior angle.

Consecutive vertices are vertices on the 
common side of the polygon. Consecutive sides 
are sides that have a common vertex. A segment
joining two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon is
called diagonal.

In the polygon ABCDE,  consecutive vertices are
A and B, B and C, C and D, D and E , E and A.

Polygons may also be classified by the number of sides they have. The table below gives
some common names for polygons. Do you still remember all of these?
