Two and Three Dimensional Figures Polygons Two and Three Dimensional Figures
Two-Dimensional Polygons
1. Polygons Closed plane figures that have three or more line segments called sides.
2. Plane Figure A two-dimensional figure with length and width.
4. Quadrilateral A four sided polygon. Quad means 4. 4 sides, 4 angles, and 4 vertices,. Side 1 Vertex 1 Vertex 2 Angle 1 Angle 2 Side 4 Side 2 Angle 4 Angle 3 Vertex 4 Vertex 3 Side 3
Types of Quadrilaterals: Rectangle A quadrilateral with 4 right (90 degree) angles, opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Rhombus A four-sided polygon having all four sides congruent, opposite sides parallel, and no right angles.
