Test questions: Identifying sides, vertices, and angles of polygons

📚 Quick Study Guide

📏
• Sides: A line segment forming part of the boundary of a polygon.
📐
• Angles: The amount of turn between two lines meeting at a point (vertex). Measured in degrees.
📌
• Vertex (Vertices): A point where two or more line segments meet. It's a corner of the polygon.
🔍
• Polygons: Closed, two-dimensional shapes made up of straight line segments.
➕
• Example: A triangle has 3 sides, 3 vertices, and 3 angles.
💡
• Tip: Count the sides, then the vertices, then the angles. They should be the same number for any polygon!
