Types of Polygons<\/span><\/p>\n

If all the angles and sides are equal, the polygon is called regular<\/strong> polygon, otherwise it is irregular<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A simple<\/strong> polygon has only one boundary which does not cross over itself. A complex<\/strong> polygon intersects itself.<\/p>\n
