Polygon Angle-Sum
A polygon is a closed plane figure with at least three sides. The sides intersect only at their endpoints and no adjacent sides are collinear. Yes No
To name a polygon, start at any vertex and list the others consecutively. Polygon ABCDE Polygon EDCBA Polygon DEABC
The diagonal of a polygon is a segment that connects two nonconsecutive vertices. How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of this shape?
A polygon is convex if no diagonal contains points outside the polygon. A polygon is concave if a diagonal contains points outside the polygon.
