Chapter 6 Section 6.1 Polygons
Examples of Polygons Identify, Name, and Describe Polygons Definition Definition Polygon A polygon is a plane figure that is formed by three or more segments called sides, such that no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear, and each side intersects exactly two other sides, one at each endpoint. Each endpoint is called a vertex of the polygon Examples of Polygons
