Check out the slideshow to see the polygon CONCEPTS we learned in class. Take a look to help you remember the VOCABULARY!!!
Polygons (2D shapes)are the next step to beginning our understanding into the 3D world. And once we are in 3D we will still rely on polygons to help us understand what's really going on!
So what are some of the most important things about Polygons....
The use of the polygon shape reduces the quantity of materials needed to make a structure
The rectangle is used in a number of applications, due to the fact our field of vision mostly consists of a rectangle shape. For instance, most televisions are rectangles to allow for easy and comfortable viewing. The same can be said for photo frames and mobile phones screens
Polygons also help us understand the relationship between parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting segments along with angles in a nice and simple way
