Polygons and Quadrilaterals
... Recall from Chapter 4, that interior angles are the angles inside a closed figure with straight sides. Even though this concept was introduced with triangles, it can be extended to any polygon. As you can see in the images below, a polygon has the same number of interior angles as it does sides. ...

Lesson 17: The Side-Angle-Side (SAS) and Side-Side
... We know that similar triangles will have ratios of corresponding sides that are proportional; therefore, we can use the side lengths to check for proportionality. ...

History of geometry
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- ""earth"", -metron ""measurement"") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry.
