What is an n-sided polygon called?

An n-sided polygon is called n-gon. By definition, we know that the polygon is made up of line segments. Below are the shapes of some polygons that are enclosed by the different number of line segments. Depending on the sides and angles, the polygons are classified into different types, namely:

What is polygonal circuit?

Polygon. The solid plane region, the bounding circuit, or the two together, may be called a polygon . The segments of a polygonal circuit are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of a solid polygon is sometimes called its body.

What is a nonconvex Polygon called?

A non-convex regular polygon is called a regular star polygon . Rectilinear: the polygon's sides meet at right angles, i.e., all its interior angles are 90 or 270 degrees. Monotone with respect to a given line L: every line orthogonal to L intersects the polygon not more than twice.
