  1. a. b. c. d. a. Some segments intersect more than two segments, so it is not a polygon. The figure is a convex polygon. b. Part of the figure is not a segment, so it is not a polygon. c. d. The figure is a concave polygon. EXAMPLE 1 Identify polygons Tell whether the figure is a polygon and whether it is convex or concave. SOLUTION

  2. a. b. a. The polygon has 6 sides. It is equilateral and equiangular, so it is a regular hexagon. b. The polygon has 4 sides, so it is a quadrilateral. It is not equilateral or equiangular, so it is not regular. EXAMPLE 2 Classify polygons Classify the polygon by the number of sides. Tell whether the polygon is equilateral, equiangular, or regular. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION

  3. The polygon has 12 sides, so it is a dodecagon. The sides are congruent, so it is equilateral. The polygon is not convex, so it is not regular. c. c. EXAMPLE 2 Classify polygons Classify the polygon by the number of sides. Tell whether the polygon is equilateral, equiangular, or regular. Explain your reasoning.

  4. Sketch an example of a convex heptagon and an example of a concave heptagon. 1. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE

  5. Classify the polygon shown at the right by the number of sides. Explain how you know that the sides of the polygon are congruent and that the angles of the polygon are congruent. 2. ANSWER Number of sides are 4, so it is a quadrilateral. All the angles have the same measure and they are all right angles, also all the sides have the same measure . The sides of the polygons are congruent and that angles of the polygon are congruent. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE
