Understanding Polygons and Regular Polygons
Polygon - A closed figure with at least 3 sides. Regular Polygon - Polygon with ALL sides congruent and ALL angles congruent. Polygons Regular Polygons # of sides Name Drawing Drawing Name Acute Equilateral 3 Triangle 4 Quadrilateral Square Regular Pentagon 5 Pentagon Regular Hexagon 6 Hexagon

Classifying Triangles
Name Acute - All angles less than 90 . Right - Only One angle equal to 90 . Obtuse - Only One angle more than 90 . Side Name - All three sides equal. Equilateral Isosceles - Two sides equal. Scalene - No equal sides.
