Polygon
A polygon is a flat shape consisting of straight lines closed in
a chain or circuit.
A chain or
circuit is that the lines that conform the polygon are closed making a closed
shape
Ex:

There are endless poligons some of them
are:
A example of a henagon or monogon is :
A example of a digon is:
A aperigon is an extraordinary shape
because have unless edges but to imagine how is it I gonna a show you how is a
aperigon in his regular form:
REGULAR POLYGON:
A regular polygon is a polygon that all
their edges and angles are the same length a example of a regular polygon is a
square.
Classifications:
A polygon can be classified in:
ü Number of sides
ü Convexity and no convexity
ü Symmetry
ü Miscellaneous
Elements of a polygon:
ü Edges
ü Vertex
ü Perimeter
ü Semiperimeter
ü Internal and external angle
ü Central angle
In a regular polygon even we can see:
ü Center
ü Apothem
ü Diagonals
A poligon can be defined by its outline
like:
Simple, if two of its edges no consecutives
doesn’t intercept
Complex, if two of its edges no
consecutives intercept;
Convex, when its to
traverse a straight line cuts it to a maximum of two points, which has all its
angles less than 180 º.
Concave if
a line passing through it can cut in more than two points, is the one with one
or more angles greater than 180 º.
Regular,
if you have their angles and sides equal, is the wing once it is equilateral
and equiangular.
Irregular,
if you have your angles and unequal sides;
Equilateral,
which has all sides equal,
Equiangular,
which has all its angles equal
