Polygons Worksheets Free and Printable

by Christopher Rudolph

Alright, imagine you’re an architect designing a new building. You’re sketching out the shape of the rooms and the layout of the floors. Now, one of the fundamental shapes you’ll work with is a polygon.

A polygon is like a shape with straight sides and corners, also known as vertices. It’s a closed figure made up of line segments that don’t cross each other. Picture it like connecting the dots with straight lines, forming a shape with no gaps or overlaps.

Now, polygons come in all sorts of varieties, each with its own unique characteristics:

1. Triangle: The simplest polygon with three sides and three angles. It’s like the building block of polygons, forming the basis for many shapes.
2. Quadrilateral: This polygon has four sides and four angles. Squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and rhombuses are all types of quadrilaterals.
3. Pentagon: With five sides and five angles, the pentagon is like a five-pointed star. It’s a common shape in architecture and design.
4. Hexagon: Think of a honeycomb – that’s a hexagon! It has six sides and six angles, creating a strong and symmetrical shape.
5. Heptagon: Also known as a septagon, this polygon has seven sides and seven angles. It’s a bit less common but still pops up in geometric designs.
6. Octagon: With eight sides and eight angles, the octagon is like a stop sign. It’s a sturdy shape often used in architecture and landscaping.
7. Nonagon: This polygon has nine sides and nine angles. It’s a bit more unusual but still follows the same principles as other polygons.
8. Decagon: Finally, we have the decagon, with ten sides and ten angles. It’s like a circle with ten equal slices, forming a symmetrical shape.

These are just a few examples of polygons, but there are many more out there, each with its own unique properties and applications. From triangles to decagons, polygons are the building blocks of geometry, forming the basis for countless designs and structures in the world around us.
