Polygons
What is a closed figure made up of straight line segments?
Polygon
A type of polygon that names all shapes with 4 straight sides.
quadrilateral
All four sides are congruent (equal), but there are no right angles.
rhombus
This shows an exact position. We often use a dot to represent this
point

The point where two sides meet
vertex
What type of polygon is a shape with all angles pointing inwards?
Concave polygon
