8. Polygon
A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by line
segments.
Parts of Polygon
a. sides – or the edge of the polygon, that make up
the polygon.
b. vertices – are the endpoints of each side
c. diagonal – is a line segment joining two nonadjacent vertices of the polygon.
d. interior angle – is the angle formed by two
adjacent sides inside the polygon
e. exterior angle – is an angle that is adjacent to and
supplementary to an interior angle of the polygon.
