Polygon Properties and Classification

The video tutorial covers the basics of polygons in the coordinate plane, explaining what polygons are, how to identify vertices, and how to represent them as ordered pairs. It demonstrates how to graph polygons on a coordinate plane and discusses the importance of labeling points in order. The tutorial also includes a practical example of creating a quilt pattern using polygons, specifically a hexagon and a rhombus. Finally, it explains how to classify polygons by counting their vertices and introduces the next lesson on finding perimeter in the coordinate plane.

What is a polygon?

• A shape with curved lines

• A closed figure formed by line segments

• A figure with only two sides

• A shape with no vertices

What is the plural form of 'vertex'?

• Vertexes

• Vertice

• Vertices

• Vertexies

How should points be labeled when forming a polygon?

• In any random order

• In alphabetical order

• Clockwise or counterclockwise from any vertex

• From the largest to smallest x-coordinate

What shape is formed by points A, B, C, and D?

• Pentagon

• Trapezoid

• Square

• Triangle

What are the coordinates of point B in Sophia's rhombus?

• (2, 3)

• (3, 1)

• (4, 3)

How many vertices does a hexagon have?

• Seven

• Six

• Five

• Four

If a shape has three vertices, what is it called?

• Quadrilateral

• Triangle

• Pentagon

• Hexagon

What is the relationship between the number of vertices and sides in a polygon?

• Vertices are always one more than sides

• There is no relationship

• Vertices and sides are equal

• Vertices are always one less than sides

What is the first step in classifying a polygon?

• Finding its perimeter
