1. 1 Polygons

2. 2 These figures are not polygonsThese figures are polygons Definition:A closed figure formed by line segments so that each segment intersects exactly two others, but only at their endpoints. Polygons

3. 3 Classifications of a Polygon Convex:No line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in its interior Concave: A polygon for which there is a line containing a side of the polygon and a point in the interior of the polygon.

4. 4 Regular:A convex polygon in which all interior angles have the same measure and all sides are the same length Irregular: Two sides (or two interior angles) are not congruent. Classifications of a Polygon

9. Parts of Polygons Consecitive Angles are two angles with one common side. Adjacent (consecutive) sides are side that intersect. Adjacent (consecutive) vertices are vertices of consecutive angles.
