1.12. Polygon Classification http://www.ck12.org


Summary


This chapter begins with the basic components of Euclidean Geometry. From the introductory definition of points,
lines, and planes it builds to a discussion of classifying figures such as angles, triangles, and polygons. Measurement
of distances and angles are also covered. Different types of angle relationships are compared and explored, such as
complementary angles, supplementary angles and linear pairs.
