Question

a polygon is a _____________ examples: a regular polygon is a ___________ date_________

Explanation:

For the definition of a polygon: A polygon is a closed - figure (or closed plane figure) formed by three or more line segments (sides) connected end - to - end, where each segment intersects exactly two other segments (at their endpoints), and no two segments with a common endpoint are collinear (except at the endpoints). Examples of polygons include triangles (3 - sided), quadrilaterals (4 - sided, like squares, rectangles, parallelograms), pentagons (5 - sided), hexagons (6 - sided), etc.

For the definition of a regular polygon: A regular polygon is a polygon that is both equilateral (all sides have the same length) and equiangular (all interior angles have the same measure). For example, a regular triangle (equilateral triangle), a regular quadrilateral (square), a regular pentagon, etc.

Answer:

• A Polygon is a closed plane figure bounded by three or more straight line segments.

Examples: Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon.

• A Regular Polygon is a polygon with all sides equal in length and all interior angles equal in measure.
