Best Answer

A polygon is any plane figure bounded only by straight lines. A triangle is therefore a polygon with three sides and a pentagon is a polygon with five sides.

A convex polygon has no interior angle greater than 180° .

A re-entrant polygon has at least one interior angle greater than 180° .

A regular polygon has all its sides and angles equal.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 2n - 4 right angles (n is the number of sides).

The sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon is 360° .

Make and test a generalization for each set of polygons?

Oh, dude, making generalizations about polygons is like trying to figure out why people still use fax machines. You just look at the sides and angles of different polygons, see what they have in common, and boom, you've got yourself a generalization. Testing it is like checking if your favorite food is still delicious - just try it out with different polygons and see if it holds up. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
