A polygon is a closed plane figure bounded by straight line segments as sides. A polygon is convex if any two points inside the polygon can be connected by a line segment that does not intersect any side. If a side is intersected, the polygon is called concave. In a regular polygon the sides are of equal length & meet at equal angles; all other polygons are not regular, although either their sides or their angles may be equal, as in the cases of the rhombus & the rectangle. |
