POLYGONS & SOLID FIGURES
Let’s Recall (Review)
Can you spot the different kinds of polygons? Color them. Use different color for each kind of
polygon.
Lesson 1: Describes and compares properties of regular
and irregular polygons (M5GE-IIIc-20)
Let’s Understand
Regular and Irregular Polygons
The figures below are examples of regular polygons.
Regular Pentagon Regular Octagon
A regular polygon has all the sides and angles equal.
The figures below are examples of irregular polygons.
Irregular Pentagon Irregular Octagon
Look at the measure of the side and angles of each polygon. They are not equal.
If the measure of the sides and angles are not equal, then the polygon is irregular.

Look at the figures below. Figure A has equal angles, but the sides are not. While
Figure B has equal sides, but the angles are not. Therefore, these are irregular
polygons.
Figure A Figure B
Let’s Apply
A. Name the following polygons and tell whether it is regular or irregular.
1. 3.
_________ __________
2 4.
__________ ___________
B. Match the polygon in column A with its description in column B. Connect them using a line.
Column A Column B
1. Regular Nonagon A. It is a polygon where the 6 sides and 6 angles
are equal.
2. Regular Hexagon B. It is a polygon where the 9 sides are equal and
all the 9 angles are also equal.
3. Irregular Octagon C. It is a polygon where some of 5 sides and 5 angles
are not equal.
4. Regular Decagon D. All the 10 sides and 10 angles are equal on
this polygon
5. Irregular Pentagon E. Neither of the 8 sides and 8 angles are equal
on this polygon.
Let’s Analyze
Tell whether each statement is true or false. Write your answer on the blanks provided.
________1. All sides of an irregular polygon are equal.
________2. A polygon can be regular if at least 2 of the sides are equal.
________3. All sides and all angles are equal in a regular hexagon.
________4. A polygon is regular if neither of the angles and sides are equal.
________5. All polygons having equal measure of sides has also equal angles.

Lesson 2: Visualizes congruent polygons (M5GE-IIId-22)
Let’s Understand
Congruent Polygons
Two geometric figures are congruent if both have the same shape and size. To test
whether two polygons are congruent, trace one figure to another. If it fits to the other figure,
then the two are congruent. The symbol use is ≅ .
Example:
Two hexagons are congruent, if the 6 sides of one hexagon are equal to the
corresponding sides of another hexagon.
Figure A Figure B
Figures A and Figure B are congruent. In symbols, we write Hexagon ABCDEF ≅
Hexagon GHIJKL. As shown in the figures, AB and GH are corresponding sides and ∠A and
∠G are corresponding angles.
Notice that AB=GH, AC=GI, BD=HJ, CE = IK, DF=JL and EF = KL
∠A=∠G, ∠B=∠H, ∠C=∠I ∠D=∠J, ∠E=∠K, ∠F=∠L
Here is another example.
The polygons above are similar but are not congruent. Notice that their
corresponding angles are the same, but the lengths of the sides are not equal. Therefore, we
can say that the above pentagons are not congruent.
Let’s Apply
A. Identify congruent polygons. Color each pair of congruent polygons with the same
color. Use another color for another pair of congruent polygons.

Let’s Analyze
Draw 2 congruent polygons on the dot boxes.
Lesson 3: Visualizes and describes solid figures (M5GE-IIIe-25)
Let’s Understand
Solid Figures
A Solid figure is a three-dimensional figure that has length, width, and height.
We can see similar shapes of these in our home and surroundings.
Parts of Solid Figures
The surface of a solid is the face of the solid. The face can be a plane or curved
surface. Prisms and pyramids have plane or flat surfaces, called polygonal regions.
They are the polyhedrons.
The edge of the solid figure is the line segment formed when any two faces meet
together.
The vertex of the solid is the point where the three edges meet. Vertices is the plural
form of vertex.
The figures below are examples of solid figures.
