QUARTER 3 – WEEK 5

What is a polygon ?
Let’s define the term polygon.
Look at the figures below.
The following are polygons:
The following are not polygons:

 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?
Consider the following sets of polygons:

What did you observe in Set A and Set B?

Polygons
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.

Polygons

Regular polygon - When all the

angles and sides of a polygon are
equal.
Polygons

Sides – the segments forming the

polygon.
Vertices – the points where the
segments meet
Polygons
Polygons are named by
writing their consecutive
vertices in a clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation.
 Polygons
The polygon at the right can be
named as: ABCDE or BCDEA or
CDEAB or DEABC. While the
following are the:
 Polygons
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.
Consecutive vertices are vertices on the
common side of the polygon.

Consecutive sides are sides that have a

common vertex.
Diagonal - a segment joining two
nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon.
Polygons may also be
classified by the number
of sides they have. The
table gives some
common names for
polygons.
