This polygon has three sides so it is a triangle, these sides are all the same length so is it a regular or irregular polygon?  

Regular

300

Is this polygon a quadrilateral? Why?

Yes. It has four sides.

300

This is an irregular polygon with five sides, what kind of polygon is it? HINT: a polygon with three sides is a triangle, and a polygon with four sides is a quandrilateral. 

Pentagon

300

Is this polygon a hexagon? 

Yes! It is an irregular hexagon. It has six sides with different lengths. 

300

Is this hexagon regular or irregular? 

Regular! It is an octagon with eight sides of equal length. 

400

Can a triangle ever have parallel lines?

No.

400

Can an irregular quadrilateral have parallel lines?

Yes! Rectangles are irregular polygons with two sets of parallel lines!

400

A pentagon has five sides. Can a regular pentagon have parallel lines? 

NO! A regular shape with an odd number of sides can never have parallel lines. 

400

How many parallel lines does a regular hexagon have? 

Six (6). A regular hexagon has six sides that are all even in length. Because it has an even number of sides each line is parallel with the line on the opposite side!

400

Does a regular octagon have perpendicular lines? 

Yes. But they do not meet at right angles. 

500

Is it possible to make a triangle with perpendicular lines? If so would it be a regular or irregular polygon?

Yes, but it can only be irregular. 

500

What is the common name for a regular quadrilateral?

Square

Draw an irregular pentagon on the whiteboard. 

If the shape has five sides of different lengths then it is an irregular pentagon. 

500

Draw a hexagon. Is it regular or irregular? How can you tell?

A hexagon has six sides. It is regular if all the sides are even (your drawing does not have to be perfect). It is irregular if the sides have different lengths. 

500

Draw a octagon with a perpendicular line.

A octagon has eight sides. Perpendicular lines do not HAVE to meet at a right angle but if extended they will.
