A closed, plain figure bounded by three or more line segments. These lines cannot be curved and they cannot intersect. A polygon must also fall on a single plane.

Is a trangle a polygon?

Yes, a triangle is a polygon. By definition, a polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape with straight sides, and a triangle has three straight sides and three angles. Therefore, it meets the criteria to be classified as a polygon.


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 other polygon to make the hexagon?

6 polygon triangles make a hexagon


Is an L shape a regular polygon?

No, an L shape is not a regular polygon. A regular polygon is defined as a polygon with all sides and all angles equal, while an L shape consists of two segments that form a right angle, resulting in unequal lengths and angles. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for being classified as a regular polygon.


Is an arrow a polygon?

A polygon is a shape that is closed with straight sides and the sides do not overlap like these. I don't know if an arrow is a polygon.


How do you make a sentences with polygon?

When I was taking a test in math, I had to describe a polygon.


I am a polygon. I am a quadrangle. All of my sides are the same length. None of my angles are right angles. What am I?

A rhombus fits these criteria.


Can a polygon have less than three vertices?

No, a polygon cannot have less than three vertices. By definition, a polygon is a closed figure formed by connecting three or more straight line segments. A shape with fewer than three vertices would not enclose any area and would not meet the criteria of a polygon.


If you fold a polygon half twice to make a rectangle what would the polygon look like?

How do you make a polygon?

A polygon is a closed plane figure consisting of straight lines. So a square is a polygon, a pentagon is a polygon. Just draw any closed figure with straight lines and you have a polygon.


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.


Is it possible to make a three-sided polygon that is not a triangle?

No. A three-sided polygon is, by definition, a triangle.
