Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify the different types of polygons and will be able to classify the different types of quadrilaterals based on their properties.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When identifying the different types of polygons, take note of the following:
    • Always start by counting the number of sides.
    • Make sure that the figure is closed; otherwise, it won’t be considered a polygon.
    • When determining the type of quadrilateral or triangle, always look at the markings on the figure. The markings will help identify if sides are parallel/congruent.

THEORY:

  • In Geometry, shapes come in different forms and have different properties. A polygon, in particular, is a two-dimensional plane shape with three or more straight closed sides. Polygons can be named by their number of sides:

  • Particular polygons also have different classifications. The following are some of the different quadrilaterals and triangles, including some of their properties.

  • The markings on a polygon can help identify which components are equal. For example, the isosceles triangle below has dash marks on its two sides. In geometry, this notation indicates that these two sides are:

  • Based on their properties, the types of quadrilaterals can be classified into hierarchies. For example, since squares have four right angles, they can also be considered rectangles. Additionally, since squares have four equal sides, they can also be considered as rhombuses.
  • Below is the hierarchy of different quadrilaterals and triangles.
  • With this, we can come to different conclusions. For example, we can say that all squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares.
