TYPES OF POLYGONS @TEACHERZEL

TRIANGLE-a polygon with a minimum of three sides is known as Triangle and it is also called a 3-gon. Trigons are polygons that have three sides. They are nothing but triangles.

QUADRILATERAL a polygon with 4 sides. A diagonal of a quadrilat-eral is a line segment whose end points are opposite vertices of the quadrilateral.

The example, square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, kite, trapezium, and isosceles trapezium are all categorized under quadrilaterals.

PENTAGONa 2D polygon with five sides and five angles. “Penta” means “five”, and “gon” translates to “angles” in Greek, and hence when we combine both words “penta + gon”, we get the word “pentagon”.

HEXAGONa closed two-dimensional polygon with six sides. Hexagon has 6 vertices and 6 angles also. Hexa means six and gonia means angles.

-a polygon of six angles and six sides

HEPTAGONa two-dimensional shape with 7 sides and 7 angles. It belongs to the class of polygons in two-dimensional geometry. Polygons are closed shapes made up of straight lines and no curves. “Hepta” means seven and “gonia” means angle in the Greek language.

OCTAGONis a polygon that has 8 sides and 8 angles. That means the number of vertices and edges of an octagon is 8, respectively. In simple words, the octagon is an 8-sided polygon, also called 8-gon, in a two-dimensional plane. A regular octagon will have all its sides equal in length.

-There are a total of 20 diagonals in it.

NONAGONis a polygon made up of 9 sides and 9 angles. Nonagon = Nona + gon where Nona means nine and gon means sides.

-it is also called an Enneagon or 9-gon. In other words, a nonagon is a nine-sided closed two-dimensional figure.

DECAGONis a polygon with ten sides, ten vertices, and ten angles.

-a decagon (from the Greek δέκα déka and γωνία gonía, "ten angles") is a ten-sided polygon or 10-gon. The total sum of the interior angles of a simple decagon is 1440°.

HENDECAGONis an 11-sided shape with 11 corners. It is sometimes referred to as an 11-gon. In the 2D polygon family, it has one more corner/side than a decagon and one less corner/side than a dodecagon. This 11-sided shape is two-dimensional.

-A hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon, also variously known as an undecagon or unidecagon

- The term "hendecagon" is preferable to the other two since it uses the Greek prefix and suffix instead of mixing a Roman prefix and Greek suffix.

DODECAGONa 12-sided polygon is called a dodecagon. It also has twelve vertices and twelve interior angles.

-a dodecagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with all sides, the same length is regular polygon known as a regular dodecagon.
