What is the name of a polygon with equal sides and equal angles?

That would be called a regular polygon, one with congruent(equal) side legnths and congruent angles.


What is a polygon which all angles are congruent?

It is simply a polygon with all equal angles. It is not a regular polygon - if that is what you are looking for.


Is it true that in a polygon all sides are congruent and all angles are congruent?

No, it is not true that in a polygon all sides and angles are congruent. A polygon with all sides congruent is called a regular polygon, but there are also irregular polygons where the sides and angles can vary. For example, a rectangle has congruent opposite sides but not all sides are equal, and its angles are congruent but not all angles need to be equal in other types of polygons. Thus, congruence in sides and angles only applies to regular polygons.


Is it true or false that a convex polygon that has more than four sides and that has congruent interior angles is a regular polygon?

True. A convex polygon with more than four sides that has congruent interior angles must also have congruent sides, making it a regular polygon. Regular polygons are defined by having both equal angles and equal side lengths. Therefore, if a convex polygon has congruent interior angles, it is necessarily regular.


A polygon is regular if and only if the sides are congruent?

Yes and providing that its interior angles are congruent as well because whilst a square is a regular polygon a rhombus is not a regular polygon although it has 4 equal sides its interior angles are not congruent.

When a polygon does not have congruent sides it is called?

It is called an irregular polygon. However, an irregular polygon can have congruent sides if all angles are not equal.


What polygon has equal sides and equal angles?

A polygon that has congruent sides and congruent angles is called a Regular polygon. If the number of sides is given, you can be more specific. Some examples: 3 congruent sides/angles = equilateral triangle 4 congruent sides/angles = square 5 congruent sides/angles = regular pentagon 6 congruent sides/angles = regular hexagon ...and so on, by adding "regular" in front of the shape's name.


What is a polygon with all sides that are congruent?

It is a regular polygon providing that its interior angles are equal as well.

A regular polygon is defined to be a convex polygon with all sides?

with all sides equal (congruent) AND all angles equal (congruent). In these circumstnces the adjective "convex" is redundant.


What are the attributes of a polygon?

A polygon has sides A polygon can have any number of side A polygon can not be curved so a circle is not a polygon Regular Polygon Has congruent sides and angles Has lines of symmetry Irregular Polygon Doesn't have any equal sides or angles Doesn't have any lines of symmetry


What makes a polygon regular?

A regular polygon has all of its sides of equal length and all of its angles congruent.


A regular polygon is defined to be a polygon with how manycongruent sides and congruent angles?

As many sides as you like providing that it has 3 or more equal sides and equal interior angles


Are the angle of a regular polygon congruent?

The term congruent is used in comparing two geometrical figures, it does not fit in this context. The angles of a regular polygon are equal.


What do congruent polygons have the same of?

all sides and interior angles are equal with the other polygon
