9.1 Polygons
Polygons are closed two-dimensional shapes where their sides are made of straight lines.

2. Diagonal
- When the polygon is folded up along the axis of symmetry, sides will be overlapping each
other perfectly.
- In a regular polygon, number of axis of symmetry is equal to number of vertices.
- A regular polygon has sides which are of same length and interior angles.
