1. Simple and complex polygons
• A simple polygon has only one boundary
and the sides do not cross each other,
otherwise it is a complex polygon.

2. Concave and convex polygons
• A convex polygon has no internal angle
more than 180º and if there are any
internal angles greater than a straight
angle, then it is a concave polygon.

3. Regular and Irregular polygons
• Regular polygon is one whose sides are all
equal and whose interior angles are all
congruent. Thus, a regular polygon is both
equilateral and equiangular. If, otherwise, the
polygon is said to be irregular polygon.

• Polygons are named or classifiedaccording to their number ofsides. A polygon with n sides iscalled n-gon.

Example:
Construct the name for 28 and 46 sided
polygons.
