<\/a><\/p>\nPolygons<\/h3>\n
A three-sided polygon is called a triangle, because it consists of line segments arranged in three angles. Four-sided polygons may be squares, if all four sides are equal and each side meets at right angles. Other types of four-sided polygons include the rectangle, the rhombus, the parallelogram, and the trapezoid. Polygons are usually named for the number of sides they have; such as a pentagon with 5 sides, a hexagon with 6 sides, a heptagon with 7 sides, and octagon with 8 sides, and so on.<\/p>\n
A set of points connected by a continuous line is called a curve. Curves can be open or closed. A circle is a type of closed curve that has a single center. Each point along the circumference of the circle is at the same distance from the center. The distance from the center to the circle itself is called the radius, and any circle measures 360o<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Many other curved figures exist in geometry and in the real world, such as ellipses, arches, ovals, lenses, and crescents. Technically, polygons are also curves, because they can be formed by a continuous line, even if that line doesn\u2019t appear curved.<\/p>\n Interested in geometry tutoring services<\/a>?
