Polygons
Triangles and Quadrilaterals
What is a polygon?
Close figure
At least 3 sides
Line segments are sides
Sides meet is call a vertex
More Polygon Terms
Diagonal – connects two non consecutive
vertices
Concave – at least one diagonal outside polygon,
dented in
Convex – no diagonals outside polygon
Perimeter – distance around polygon
Area – space polygon covers up
Define these types of Polygons pg 56
Equilateral
All the sides of the polygon are
congruent
Equiangular
All the interior angles of the
polygon are congruent
Regular
All sides are congruent and all
angles are congruent
Types and prop of polygons

Triangles – define the following pg 60
Right
Has only one right angle
In some case why can it have
only one of that type of angle?
Acute
All 3 angles are acute angles
Triangles interior angles add up
to 180 and has 3 angles, if it
had 2 right angles it is already
at 180 and if it had 2 obtuse
angles it would be over 180
Obtuse
Has only one obtuse angle
Notice the names of all these triangles deal with the type(s) of angle the
triangle has
More triangles pg 61
Scalene
No sides congruent
Isosceles
2 congruent sides, also has two
congruent base angles
Equilateral
All sides are congruent
Notice all these triangles are named based on sides congruent
When naming a triangle you need to use both the name for type of angle and
number of congruent sides
Quadrilaterals define and list
properties pg 64
Parallelogram
Rectangle
2 pairs of parallel sides
Opposite sides congruent
Opposite angles congruent
Consecutive angles supplementary
Diagonals
All properties of a parallelogram and
All angles 90 degrees
Rhombus
All properties of a parallelogram and all
sides congruent
Square
All properties of a parallelogram and all
sides congruent and all angles 90
degrees
Trapezoid
1 pair of parallel sides, there are 3 types we will
discuss later
Kite
2 pairs of congruent consecutive sides, 1 pair of
congruent angles
Quadrilaterals
We will go into more depth with these shapes
and come up with some additional properties as
well
