Find and use the measures of interior and exterior angles of polygons. Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons Vocabulary side of a polygon vertex of a polygon diagonal regular polygon concave convex Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons In Lesson 2-4, you learned the definition of a polygon. Now you will learn about the parts of a polygon and about ways to classify polygons. Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons Each segment that forms a polygon is a side of the polygon. The common endpoint of two sides is a vertex of the polygon. A segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices is a diagonal. Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons You can name a polygon by the number of its sides. The table shows the names of some common polygons. Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons Remember! A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three or more segments that intersect only at their endpoints.

All the angles are congruent in an equiangular polygon. A regular polygon is one that is both equilateral and equiangular. If a polygon is not regular, it is called irregular. Holt Geometry 6-1 Properties and Attributes of Polygons A polygon is concave if any part of a diagonal contains points in the exterior of the polygon. If no diagonal contains points in the exterior, then the polygon is convex. A regular polygon is always convex.
