Slide 2 Polygon : is a closed plane figure formed by three or more segments called sides. Vertex : is the point at which two sides of a polygon meet. Slide 3 The figure below is not a polygon, since it is not a closed figure: Slide 4 The figure below is not a polygon, since it is not made of line segments: Slide 5 The figure below is not a polygon, since its sides do not intersect in exactly two places each: Slide 6 There are two types of polygons: REGULAR AND IRREGULAR examples of regular polygons examples of irregular polygons Slide 7 Slide 8 The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. TRIANGLES Equilateral Triangle An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. This means that each angle is 60 degrees Slide 9 Slide 10 A scalene triangle has three sides with different lengths. Therefore, it has three different angles. Slide 11 Acute Triangle : An acute triangle has three acute angles. Slide 12 Obtuse Triangle An obtuse triangle has an obtuse angle, in which one of the angles is more than 90 degrees. Slide 13 Right Triangle A right triangle has a right angle, in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. A right triangle has a right angle, in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. Slide 14 A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon in which the sum of all the angles is 360 Slide 15 Slide 16 Slide 17 Slide 18 Slide 19 Slide 20 Slide 21 What type of polygon is on the sides of these pyramids? Slide 22 What type of polygon is in these beehives? Slide 23 What type of polygon do you see in this photo? Slide 24
