Study Notes
Understanding Polygons
- A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric figure with at least three straight sides and angles.
- Polygons can be classified based on the number of sides they have.
Points of Intersection
- The points where two edges meet in a polygon are called vertices (singular: vertex).
N-gon Definition
- An n-gon is a polygon with 'n' sides. The term 'n' represents any positive integer, indicating the number of edges.
Simple Polygons
- A simple polygon is a polygon that does not intersect itself, meaning its edges do not cross over one another.
Interior of Polygons
- The interior of a solid polygon, which refers to the space contained within the polygon, is called the polygon's interior area.
