POLYGON

MATHEMATICS FORM 1

WHAT IS POLYGON???

Polygon

Made of straight lines, and the shape

is “closed”

Bounded by three or more sides

Straight line sides meet at

point called a vertex

Line that joins two

non-adjacent

vertices of polygon is called a diagonal

Which of following are polygon? Why?

POLYGON because have straight sides and enclosed

NOT A POLYGON because not enclosed figure

NOT A POLYGON because has a curve

Side

How many sides ???

512

Side

Type of polygon

I have 3 straight sides.I have 3 vertices.

What shape am I?

I’m a triangle!

TRIANGLE

Equilateral Triangle

Three equal sides Three equal angles,

always 60°

Isosceles Triangle

Two equal sides Two equal angles

Scalene Triangle

No equal sides No equal angles

I have 4 straight sides.I have 4 vertices.

What shape am I?

I’m a quadrilateral!

QUADRILATERAL

Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four, lateral means side).

Any four-sided shape is a Quadrilateral.

But the sides have to be straight, and it has to be 2-dimensional.

Symmetry

• An object is said to have line(s) of symmetry if one side of it overlaps exactly with the other.

Line of symmetry(diagonal)

Line of symmetry(vertical)

Line of symmetry(horizontal)
