3. Objective
• You’ll classify polygons be their sides
Instructions
• Match the polygon with its correct classification.
• Tell whether the polygon is always regular.

4. Polygons
• A polygon is a closed plane
figure that is formed by
three or more segments
called sides.
• Each side intersects exactly
with two other sides at a
vertex.
Triangle
3 sides
Quadrilateral
4 sides
Pentagon

Heptagon
7 sides
Octagon

6. Regular Polygons
Regular polygons are polygons with sides of
equal length and angles of equal measure.
Polygons that are not regular are irregular
figures.
