DEFINITION A POLYGON is the union of segments in the same plane such that each segment intersects exactly two others at their endpoints. Hint: there are 4 separate phrases in the definition -- memorize it!
TERMS: Sides - Vertex – Consecutive vertices/sides or Adjacent vertices/sides - Diagonal - the segments in the polygon. the endpoints of the segments. endpoints of the same segment or sharing a point a segment connecting NON-adjacent vertices.. H E O S U
DEFINITION A POLYGONAL REGION is the union of the polygon and its interior.
