    Study Notes

    Classification of Polygons

    • Polygons are classified based on the number of sides they possess.

    Regular Polygons

    • Regular polygons have all sides and angles equal, maintaining symmetry throughout.

    Special Quadrilaterals

    • Squares are quadrilaterals characterized by having four right angles and all sides of equal length.

    Pentagons

    • A regular pentagon is a five-sided polygon where all sides and angles are equal, contributing to its symmetrical structure.
