Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes with straight sides and a closed shape. They must have a minimum of 3 sides and none of their sides can intersect. We will discuss the various types of polygons and methods for calculating their area and angles.
A polygon is defined as a 2-dimensional shape with the following traits:
Examples of polygons include triangles, squares, rectangles, and more.
The key components of a polygon include sides, vertices, interior angles, exterior angles, and diagonals. These can be demonstrated in the diagram below:
