Polygon Hierarchy

This document describes the hierarchy of polygons and their properties. It begins by defining a polygon as a closed figure formed by straight line segments. It then breaks down polygons into specific types: quadrilateral as a 4-sided polygon; parallelograms having two sets of parallel sides; trapezoids having one parallel side; rectangles and squares as types of parallelograms with right angles and all sides congruent respectively; and rhombus as a parallelogram with all sides congruent. Real world examples are provided for each type of polygon.
