Polygons are geometric shapes that are characterized by straight sides and vertices, or corners, where these sides meet. These fundamental figures play a crucial role in geometry and are widely studied in mathematics and applied in various fields.
Polygons can be classified based on the number of sides they have:
1. Triangle (3 sides): The simplest polygon, with three sides and three vertices.
2. Quadrilateral (4 sides): Examples include squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and rhombuses.
3. Pentagon (5 sides), Hexagon (6 sides), Heptagon (7 sides), Octagon (8 sides), etc.: As the number of sides increases, these polygons are named using Greek prefixes.
