How do you know when a polygon is a regular polygon?

If every side of the polygon is the same length, then it is a regular polygon. If the measure of every internal angle of a polygon is the same as every other, then it is a regular polygon. The two always go together, so you need to check only one of the above criteria.

What is a simular polygon?

Two polygons are similar if they meet the following criteria. They must have the same number of sides. Each vertex of one polygon has a corresponding vertex on the other polygon with same angle measurement. Each side on one polygon is proportional to a corresponding side on the other one by the same scalar multiple. If the two polygons are triangles, then if angle criteria is satisfied the side proportion will automatically be satisfied. The converse is true as well. For other polygons, both sides and angles must be tested. An example would be a square and a rhombus.
