Polígono

Polígono is a Spanish word that translates to "polygon" in English. A polygon is a closed shape in a plane made up of straight line segments. These line segments are called sides, and the points where the sides meet are called vertices. The number of sides a polygon has determines its name. For example, a polygon with three sides is a triangle, a polygon with four sides is a quadrilateral, and a polygon with five sides is a pentagon. Polygons can be simple, meaning their sides do not intersect, or complex, where sides do cross. They can also be convex, where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees, or concave, where at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degrees. Regular polygons have all sides of equal length and all interior angles of equal measure, while irregular polygons do not. The study of polygons is a fundamental part of geometry, with applications in architecture, art, and computer graphics.
