2. Convex or Concave? A Polygon is a plane figure formed by three or more segments. A Polygon can either be convex or concave. If a polygon is convex then no sides, when extended, pass through the interior of the polygon. (All vertices point outside the polygon.) A polygon is concave when a side that is extended passes through the interior of the polygon. (At least one vertex points inside the polygon.)

18. Example 3: Identifying and Classifying Regular Polygons Name each polygon and tell whether it is a regular polygon. If it is not, explain why not. The figure is a regular quadrilateral. A regular quadrilateral is also called a square. The figure is a quadrilateral. It is not a regular polygon because all of the sides are not congruent. A. B. Course 2

19. Now You Try… Insert Lesson Title Here The figure is a triangle. It is not a regular polygon because all sides and angles are not congruent. The figure is a regular triangle. Name each polygon and tell whether it is a regular polygon. If it is not, explain why not. A. B. Course 2
