POLYGONS
BASIC DEFINITIONS
POLYGON:
A closed path of three or more line segments, where:
 no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear, and
 each segment is connected at its endpoints to exactly two other segments.
SIDE:
A segment that is connected to other segments (which are also sides) to form a polygon.

VERTEX:
A point at the intersection of two sides of the polygon. (plural form: vertices)

DIAGONAL:
A segment, from one vertex to another, which is not a side.
Polygons

“polygon “convex polygon” (all interior angles less than

” 180°)

convex
concave

CONCAVE:
A polygon in which it is possible to draw a diagonal “outside” the polygon.

CONVEX:
A polygon in which it is not possible to draw a diagonal “outside” the polygon. Convex
polygons appear more “rounded” and do not contain “caves.”

TRIANGLES
CENTROID (MEDIANS)

The centroid is the intersection of the three medians of

a triangle. A median is a line segment drawn from a
vertex to the midpoint of the line opposite the vertex.

 The centroid is located 2/3 of the way from a vertex to the opposite side. The medians
of a triangle create 6 inner triangles of equal area.

ORTHOCENTER (ALTITUDES)
The orthocenter is the intersection of the three
altitudes of a triangle.
An altitude is a line segment drawn from a vertex to
a point on the opposite side (extended, if necessary)
that is perpendicular to that side.
CIRCUMCENTER (PERPENDICULAR BISECTORS)
The circumcenter is the intersection of the
perpendicular
bisectors of the three sides of the triangle.

A perpendicular bisector is a line which both bisects

the side and is perpendicular to the side. The
circumcenter is also the center of the circle
circumscribed about the triangle.

INCENTER (ANGLE BISECTORS)

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the
three angles of the triangle.

An angle bisector cuts an angle into two congruent angles,

each of which is half the measure of the original angle. The
incenter is also the center of the circle inscribed in the
triangle.

CONGRUENCY OF TRIANGLES

Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles
are congruent. The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a
mirror image of the other.

Side‐Angle‐Side (SAS) Congruence

SAS congruence requires the congruence of
two sides and the angle between those sides.

Note
that there is no such thing as SSA
congruence; the congruent angle must be
Side‐Side‐Side
between the two congruent sides.
(SSS) Congruence
SSS congruence requires the congruence
of al three sides. If al of the sides are
congruent then al of the angles must be
congruent. The converse is not true;
there is no such thing as AAA
congruence.
CONGRUENCY OF TRIANGLES

Congruence

ASA congruence requires the congruence

of two
angles and the side between those

Angle‐Angle‐Side

between those
angles.
