Section 6.1 Polygons
Definitions
Polygon ­ Is formed by three or more segments called sides, such that no two sides
with a common endpoints are collinear. Each side intersects exactly two other sides, one at each endpoint. Vertex ­ The endpoints of a side of a polygon
Diagonal ­ A segment connecting two nonconsecutive vertices.
Convex polygon ­ A polygon that has no line that contains a side of the
polygon in the interior of the polygon.
Concave polygon ­ A polygon that is not convex.
Equilateral polygon ­ A polygon with all sides congruent.
Equiangular polygon ­ A polygon with all angles congruent.
Regular polygon ­ A polygon that is both equiangular and equilateral.
