๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

    ๐Ÿ“ Polygon Definition: A closed, two-dimensional shape formed by straight line segments. ๐Ÿ›‘ Regular Polygon: A polygon with all sides and all angles equal. ๐Ÿ”ข Irregular Polygon: A polygon where sides and/or angles are not all equal. โž• Convex Polygon: A polygon where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees. A line segment between any two points inside the polygon lies entirely inside the polygon. โž– Concave Polygon: A polygon with at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. A line segment between two points inside the polygon may pass outside the polygon. โž— Naming Polygons: Triangles (3 sides), Quadrilaterals (4 sides), Pentagons (5 sides), Hexagons (6 sides), Heptagons (7 sides), Octagons (8 sides), etc. ๐Ÿ’ก Key Attributes: Sides, angles, vertices (corners).
