Understanding Polygon Names

Polygons are named based on the number of their sides. Here are a few examples:

  • Triangle: 3 sides
  • Quadrilateral: 4 sides
  • Hexagon: 6 sides
  • Octagon: 8 sides
  • Decagon: 10 sides
  • Dodecagon: 12 sides

Each name reflects the number of sides, making it easier to identify different types of polygons.
