Regular and Irregular Polygons

A polygon is a plane figure bounded by three or more straight line segments e.g. quadrilateral, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, and pentagon. A polygon can either be regular or irregular.

Regular Polygons

A regular polygon is one that has all sides equal

Irregular Polygons

Regular Polygons

Construction of Hexagon Using a Pair of Compasses

A hexagon is a figure with six sides.

Procedure:

  1. Draw a circle with radius equal to the length of the side given, and draw the horizontal diameter
  2. With A as center, and the same radius (30mm), cut the circle above to give AC, and below to give AD.
