Chapter 3 Polygons2
I. Properties of a Polygon
A. A plane figure formed by three or more
consecutive segments (sides or laterals)
B. Each side intersects exactly two other
sides at its endpoints.
C. These intersections are called vertices.
D. No three consecutive vertices are
collinear.
II. Types of Polygons
3 sides – triangle
4 sides – quadrilateral
5 sides – pentagon
6 sides – hexagon
7 sides – heptagon
8 sides – octagon
9 sides – nonagon
10 sides – decagon
12 sides – dodecagon
20 sides – icosagon
n sides – n-gon
III. Convex and Concave Polygons
A. Convex – any two points inside of the
polygon can be connected with a
segment that is completely inside the
polygon.

IV. Square
Parallelogram with four congruent sides and
four right angles
A square is a
parallelogram, a
rectangle, and a
rhombus.
V. Trapezoid
A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides
