Types of Polygons

Below are some types of polygons based on the number of sides of a polygon,

Based on measure of angles and the sides of a polygon, they are classified into the following types

1. Regular polygon
2. Irregular polygon
3. Concave polygon
4. Convex polygon
5. Equilateral polygon
6. Equiangular Polygon

Regular Polygon

A polygon is said to be a regular polygon if it has all the interior angles and the sides are of the same measure. The regular polygon are shown in the image added below:

Irregular Polygon

A polygon is said to be a irregular polygon if it has all the interior angles and the sides have different values. The irregular polygon are shown in the image added below:

Concave Polygon

A concave polygon is a polygon that has at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees, i.e., a reflex angle. The concave polygon are shown in the image added below:

Convex Polygon

A convex polygon is a polygon that has all the interior angles of a polygon less than 180 degrees. The convex polygon are shown in the image added below:

Equilateral Polygon

An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose all sides measure the same.

Equiangular Polygon

An equiangular polygon is a polygon whose all angles measure the same.

Polygons are closed two-dimensional shapes made with three or more lines, where each line intersects at vertices. Polygons can have various numbers of sides, such as three (triangles), four (quadrilaterals), and more.

In this article, we will learn about the polygon definition, the characteristics of the polygon, the types of polygons and others in detail.
