Answer for screen readers
Polygons are classified based on the number of sides, and whether they are convex or concave, and regular or irregular.
More Information
Polygons with equal sides and angles are called regular polygons, while those that don't have equal sides and angles are irregular.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all polygons within a category are regular. Always check for both equal sides and equal angles.
