Polygon Hierarchy

This document defines and provides examples of different types of polygons, including polygons, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. Polygons have at least three straight sides and angles, while quadrilaterals specifically have four sides. Trapezoids are quadrilaterals with two parallel sides, parallelograms have opposite parallel sides, rectangles have four right angles and may have unequal sides, rhombuses have four equal sides and opposite equal acute angles, and squares have four equal sides and four right angles. Real world examples of each shape are also provided.

Polygon Hierarchy

By Malik Vereen

Polygons
A plane figure with at least three straight sides and
angles, and typically five or more.
a circle is not a polygon because it has a curve side.
Real life example is a Stop Sign.

Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with four angles.
Ex. parallelogram, the rectangle, square, trapezoid, and
rhombus.
Real life example is the front side of a dice.

Trapezoids

A trapezoids is a quadrilateral with two sides parallel.


The parallel sides are the bases.
The other two sides are the legs.
Real life example is a table.

Parallelograms
Opposite sides are parallel.
A parallelogram where all angles are right angles is a
rectangle.
Real life example is a Soccer fields

Rectangles
A plane figure with four straight sides and four right
angles.
Unequal adjacent sides.
Real life example is the Dallas Cowboys football field

Rhombus
A parallelogram with opposite equal acute sides.
Opposite equal obtuse angles, and four equal sides.
Real life example is the yellow part in the flag.

Squares
A plane figure with four equal sides and four right
angles.
The product of a number multiplied by itself.
Real life example is this Germany flag.
