Answer for screen readers

One way to categorize polygons is based on the number of sides and vertices.

More Information

Polygons are typically named according to their number of sides, such as triangles (3 sides), quadrilaterals (4 sides), pentagons (5 sides), and so on. Polygons with more than 12 sides are usually referred to by their numerical name (e.g., a 17-sided polygon is a heptadecagon).

Tips

When categorizing polygons by the number of sides, ensure each side is counted only once and all sides are straight lines.
