Understanding Polygons, Quadrilaterals, and Polyhedrons

Understanding Polygons

A polygon is a part of a plane delimited by a closed polygonal path (it is called a polygonal region). It can be:

  • Convex: Prolongation of all segments of the polygonal path divides the plane into two semi-planes, and the polygonal path is all in the same semi-plane.
  • Concave: Prolongation of at least one segment of the polygonal path divides the plane into two parts, each one in different semi-planes.
  • Regular: When all the sides and angles are equal.
