A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric shape that is made up of straight lines connected at their endpoints. It must have three or more sides and angles.
The perimeter of a polygon is the total length of all its sides. To find the perimeter, simply add up the length of each side.
The formula for calculating the area of a polygon depends on the type of polygon. For regular polygons, the area can be found by multiplying the apothem (distance from the center to a side) by the perimeter. For irregular polygons, you can divide the shape into smaller, simpler shapes and calculate the area of each one separately.
A regular polygon has all equal sides and angles, while an irregular polygon has sides and angles of different lengths and measures.
In any polygon, the number of sides will always be equal to the number of angles. For example, a pentagon (a polygon with 5 sides) will always have 5 angles. This is because each side and angle are connected at their endpoints, and they alternate around the shape.
