Understanding Quadrilaterals

Polygon is any (closed) two dimensional shape formed

Polygon with straight lines.

Classificaion Of Polygon

Based on relation between sides and angles Based on number of sides

• Regular Polygon • Triangle

Having equal sides and equal Polygon with 3 sides
interior angles
• Quadrilateral
• Irregular Polygon Polygon with 4 sides
Not all sides or interior
angles are equal. • Pentagon
Polygon with 5 sides

• Equilateral Polygon
All sides are equal.
• Hexagon
Polygon with 6 sides

• Heptagon
• Equiangular polygon
Polygon with 7 sides
All interior angles are
equal.
• Octagon
Polygon with 8 sides
• Convex Polygon
o
All interior angles are less than 180
• Nonagon
Polygon with 9 sides
• Concave Polygon
At least one interior angle is more • Decagon
o
than 180 Polygon with 10 sides

Angle Sum Property Of Polygon

1 Interior Angles 2 Exterior Angles
For n-sided polygon, For n-sided polygon,
o
Sum of all interior angles = (n-2)x180
o
Sum of all exterior angles = 360
For n-sided regular polygon, For n-sided regular polygon,
Measure of each exterior angle
Measure of each interior angle o
360
= (n-2)x180 = n
o
n
