Learning Activities
In your elementary days, you learned about polygons, its angles, and sides. Let us
first have a review.
Let’s define the term polygon. Look at the figures below. The

following are polygons:

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 30 minutes Consider the following sets of polygons:

Set A

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:

̅𝐴̅𝐵̅, ̅𝐵̅𝐶̅ , ̅𝐶̅𝐷̅, ̅𝐷̅𝐸̅ and ̅𝐸̅𝐴̅. Angles: ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵, ∠𝐶, ∠𝐷
and ∠𝐸.
A polygon separates a plane into three sets of points: the points on the 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. Consecutive sides
are 𝐴̅𝐵̅ and
𝐵̅
̅𝐶̅ ; 𝐵̅𝐶̅ and 𝐶̅𝐷̅;
𝐶̅𝐷̅ and ̅𝐷̅𝐸̅ ; ̅𝐷𝐸 and
𝐸̅
̅𝐴̅. Some diagonals are
AC and AD .

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?
