    The document defines and provides information about different types of polygons, including: Regular polygons have all equal sides and angles. Equiangular polygons have all equal angles, while equilateral polygons have all equal sides. Convex polygons have interior angles less than 180 degrees, while concave polygons have at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. Formulas are provided for calculating the area of regular polygons, summing interior angles, and determining the number of diagonals and triangles in a polygon. Key parts of polygons are also defined, including sides, vertices, diagonals, interior angles, and exterior angles. Special types of quadrilaterals, triangles, and polygons with specific numbers of sides are also outlined.

    Types of Polygons

    Regular - all angles are equal and all sides are the same length. Regular polygons are both
    equiangular and equilateral.
    Equiangular - all angles are equal.
    Equilateral - all sides are the same length.

    Convex - a straight line drawn through a convex polygon crosses at most two
    sides. Every interior angle is less than 180°.

    Concave - you can draw at least one straight line through a concave polygon that
    crosses more than two sides. At least one interior angle is more than 180°.

    Polygon Formulas
    (N = # of sides and S = length from center to a corner)

    Area of a regular polygon = (1/2) N sin(360°/N) S2

    Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (N - 2) x 180°

    The number of diagonals in a polygon = 1/2 N(N-3)


    The number of triangles (when you draw all the diagonals from one vertex) in a polygon = (N -
    2)

    Polygon Parts

    Side - one of the line segments that make up the


    polygon.

    Vertex - point where two sides meet. Two or more of


    these points are called vertices.

    Diagonal - a line connecting two vertices that isn't a


    side.

    Interior Angle - Angle formed by two adjacent sides


    inside the polygon.

    Exterior Angle - Angle formed by two adjacent sides


    outside the polygon.
    Special Polygons
    Special Quadrilaterals - square, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, and the trapezoid.

    Special Triangles - right, equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, obtuse.

    To construct a name, combine the prefix+suffix

    Sides Prefix Sides Suffix


    20 Icosikai... +1 ...henagon
    30 Triacontakai... +2 ...digon
    40 Tetracontakai... +3 ...trigon
    50 Pentacontakai... +4 ...tetragon
    60 Hexacontakai... + +5 ...pentagon
    70 Heptacontakai... +6 ...hexagon
    80 Octacontakai... +7 ...heptagon
    90 Enneacontakai... +8 ...octagon
    +9 ...enneagon

    Examples:
    46 sided polygon - Tetracontakaihexagon

    28 sided polygon - Icosikaioctagon

    However, many people use the form n-gon, as in 46-gon, or 28-gon instead of these names.
