Polygons
A simple closed curve made up of only line segments is called a polygon.
Convex Polygon
We have all the diagonals inside the Polygon
Concave Polygon
We don’t have all the diagonals inside the Polygon
Regular and Irregular Polygons
A regular polygon is both ‘equiangular’ and ‘equilateral’.
So all the sides and angles should be same
a) So square is a regular polygon but rectangle is not
b) Equilateral triangle is a regular polygon
Angle Sum in the Polygons
The Sum of the angles in the polygon is given by
=(n-2) × 1800
For Triangle, n=3
So Total =1800
For quadrilateral, n=4
So total =3600
Classification of polygons
We classify polygons according to the number of sides (or vertices)

[Link] Terms Descriptions
1 Quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with four angles.
There are many kinds of quadrilaterals. The five most
common types are the parallelogram, the rectangle, the
square, the trapezoid, and the rhombus.
2 Angle Property of 1) Sum of all the interior angles is 3600
Quadrilateral 2) Sum of all the exterior angles is 3600
3 Parallelogram A quadrilateral which has both pairs of opposite sides
parallel is called a parallelogram.
Its properties are:
• The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
• The opposite angles of a parallelogram are
equal.
• The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each
other.
• The adjacent angles in a parallelogram are
supplementary.
4 Trapezium A quadrilateral which has one pair of opposite sides
parallel is called a trapezium.
5 Kite It is a quadrilaterals having exactly two distinct
consecutive pairs of sides of equal length
Here ABCD is a Kite
AB=BC
AD=CD
6 Rhombus Rhombus is a parallelogram in which any pair of
adjacent sides is equal.
Properties of a rhombus:
• All sides of a rhombus are equal
• The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal
• The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at
right angles.
7 Rectangles A parallelogram which has one of its angles a right angle
is called a rectangle.
Properties of a rectangle are:
• The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal
• Each angle of a rectangle is a right-angle.
• The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
• The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.
8 Square A quadrilateral, all of whose sides are equal and all of
whose angles are right angles.
Properties of square are:
• All the sides of a square are equal.
• Each of the angles measures 90°.
• The diagonals of a square bisect each other at
right angles.
The diagonals of a square are equal.
