In this lesson, we delve into the world of polygons, specifically focusing on their definitions and classifications. A polygon is defined as a closed figure with straight line segment sides that do not cross. We will explore the differences between convex and concave polygons, and provide insights on naming various types of polygons. Special attention will be given to quadrilaterals, including trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. Use your book's glossary to aid in completing your vocabulary note-taking guide and homework exercises.

Polygons A polygon is a closed figure whose sides are made up of straight line segments that do not cross.
Convex or Concave? How do you tell the difference?
Classifying Quadrilaterals Quadrilaterals are four-sided polygons. Trapezoids have exactly one pair of parallel lines.
Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel lines. There are three special kinds of parallelograms: A rectangle has four right angles. A rhombus has four congruent sides. A square has four right angles and four congruent sides.
