polygon   not a polygon
What is a polygon?
• A polygon is a plane figure.
• A polygon is a closed region.
• A polygon is formed by three or more
  segments as its sides.
• Each side of a polygon intersects only
  one segment at each of its endpoints.
• poli + gonus “many angled”

Regions in a Polygon
Parts of a Polygon
• sides
  ▫ consecutive sides
     included angle
  ▫ nonconsecutive sides
• interior angles / vertex angles
  ▫ consecutive angles
     included side
  ▫ nonconsecutive angles
• exterior angles
Parts of a Polygon
• Diagonals
 ▫ A diagonal of a polygon is any segment that joins
   two nonconsecutive vertices. Figure shows five-
   sided polygon QRSTU. Segments QS , SU , UR
   , RT and QT are the diagonals in this polygon.

How can these polygons be divided into two groups?
Convex Polygons   Concave Polygons
Polygon Convexity
A polygonal region is convex if any
  segment joining any two points of the
  polygon is part of the interior region.

If a polygon is not convex, then its is
   concave.

Convex or Concave?

         Concave
         because a segment
         connecting points on
         the polygon that will
         lie in the exterior can
         be drawn.
