Polygon

The document defines and discusses polygons. It begins by explaining that a polygon is a flat shape with three or more straight sides and angles. It then discusses key properties of polygons including interior angles, exterior angles, vertices, sides, and diagonals. The document provides examples of common polygons like triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. It includes tables showing the number of sides, interior angles, and other properties. The main points are that polygons are geometric shapes made of straight lines and angles, the sum of interior angles is 180 degrees times the number of sides minus 2, and the sum of exterior angles is always 360 degrees.

EXTERIOR ANGLES
OF A POLYGON

An Exterior angle of a regular polygon is formed


by extending one side of the polygon.
Angle CDY is an exterior angle to angle CDE
A

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle of a regular polygon =180

No matter what type of polygon we


have, the sum of the exterior angles is
ALWAYS equal to 360.
Sum of exterior angles =
