What is a regular polygon?
State the name of a regular polygon of
(i) 3 sides
(ii) 4 sides
(iii) 6 sides.
To do:
We have to define regular polygon and state the name of a regular polygon of
(i) 3 sides(ii) 4 sides
(iii) 6 sides.
Solution:
A polygon is a closed plane or two-dimensional figure whose sides are straight line segments.
Regular polygon:
A regular polygon is a polygon that has equal sides and equal angles.
(i) A regular polygon of 3 sides is called an equilateral triangle.
(ii) A regular polygon of 4 sides is called a square.
(iii) A regular polygon of 6 sides is called regular hexagon.
