Polygon
A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric
figure with the following characteristics:
1. It is made of straight line segments
2. Each segment touches exactly two other
segments, on at teach of its endpoints
3. It is closed – it divides the plane into tow
distinct region, one inside and the other
outside the polygon

Rectangle
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.
All rectangles are: Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms
Square
A square is a quadrilateral with sides that are congruent and angles
that are all the same size.
All squares are: Quadrilaterals, Parallelograms and Rectangles
Rhombus
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with sides that are congruent.
All rhombuses are: Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms
Diamond
A diamond is a square or rhombus turned on a point.
