Question
What is the general form of naming a polygon?
- Polygon
- Hexagon
- n-gon (where n represents the number of sides in a polygon)
- Pentagon
Hint:
General interpretation of polygon.
The correct answer is: n-gon (where n represents the number of sides in a polygon)
*In mathematics, a polygon is a closed two-dimensional figure made up of line segments.
* Poly means many gon means angle. Hence, polygon is a closed figure that is made of many angles.
*In General there are 4 types of polygons. They are:
Regular Polygon
Irregular Polygon
Convex Polygon
Concave polygon
* Hence, the polygon can have any number of sides and angles.
>>>Naming of polygon is required to differentiate the polygons.
>>>Generally, the polygon is named as n-gon where n represents the number of sides.
* Example:
pent(5) + gon.
=pentagon.
One can find this with a small trick. The student should learn to break the word. For example, Hexagon: Hexa+Gon. Now, as we know that hexa is six. Similarly, if a polygon has ‘n’ sides, then the polygon would be named as n-gon.
