Types of Polygon

The document defines polygons as curved surfaces formed by straight lines and provides information about different types of polygons based on the number of sides. It gives the name and number of diagonals for polygons with 3 to 10 sides, and provides formulas to calculate the sum of interior angles and exterior angles for any polygon based on the number of sides.

POLYGON: A Polygon is a curved surface formed by straight lines


No of Sides(n) Polygon Names The Number of diagonals of a polygon = n*(n-3) / 2
Three Sides Triangle n – Number of sides of the polygon
Four Sides Quadrilateral Example: 1. Pentagon  Number of sides = 5
No of diagonals of Pentagon = 5*(5-3)/2 = 5
Five Sides Pentagon Example: 2. Octagon  Number of sides = 8
Six Sides Hexagon No of diagonals of Octagon = 8*(8-3)/2 = 20
Seven Sides Heptagon Sum of the Interior angles of a polygon = (n-2)*180
Eight Sides Octagon n – Number of sides of the polygon

Nine Sides Nanogon Example: 1. Quadrilateral  Number of sides = 4


Sum of the interior angles = (4-2)*180 = 360
Ten Sides Decagon Example: 2. Triangle  Number of sides = 3
Sum of the interior angles = (3-2)*180 = 180

Sum of the Exterior angles of any polygon = 360


All the exterior angles of a polygon(n sided) are equal = 360/n
