Determining if Polygons are Regular or Irregular. A polygon can have a certain number of sides, but the sides do not necessarily have to be the same length. Both of the polygons below are pentagons because they both have five angles and sides, but look at the differences.
Then, what is an example of an irregular polygon?
A polygon that does not have all sides equal and all angles equal. A polygon is "regular" only when all angles are equal and all sides are equal, otherwise it is irregular.
What is the difference between regular and irregular polygons?
the difference between regular shape and irregular shapes. Thaera, A regular polygon is one where all the sides are congruent and all the interior angles are congruent. An irregular polygon is one that is not regular.
What is a polygon with four unequal sides?
In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges (or sides) and four vertices or corners. Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on.
