    The document discusses the history and types of polygons. Polygons are plane figures with three or more line segments as sides. They are classified based on the number of sides into triangles, quadrilateral, pentagons, and other polygons up to decagons with 10 sides. Polygons can also be convex, concave, equilateral or equiangular based on their angle and side properties. The study of polygons began as early as the 7th century BC with pentagrams, and later systematic studies included non-convex polygons and generalizing polygons to the complex plane.

    POLYGON AND ITS HISTORY

    Polygon are closed plane figures formed by three or more line segments. It is classified
    by the number of sides.

    Types of Polygon:

    1. Concave polygons - at least one angle measures more than 180º and at least one of the
    diagonals is outside the shape of the polygon.

    2. Convex polygon - All of its angle are less than 180º. All of the diagonals are internal.

     Equilateral Polygon - All sides are equal/congruent.

     Equiangular polygon - All angles are equal/congruent.

    Classifications of Polygon:

    1. Triangle - 3 sides
    2. Quadrilateral - 4 sides
    3. Pentagon - 5 sides
    4. Hexagon - 6 sides
    5. Heptagon - 7 sides
    6. Octagon - 8 sides
    7. Nonagon - 9 sides
    8. Decagon - 10 sides

    History

     7th century B.C. polygon was pentagram (star polygon)


     14th century the first known systematic study of non-convex polygons by Thomas
    Bradwardine.
     In 1592 - Geoffrey Shepard generalized the idea of polygons to complex plane.
