Regular/irregular geometric shapes

In the geometrical mathematics, we all are very well aware that it is a collection of several kinds of shapes and figures. These figures and shapes are very helpful in solving various kinds of problem that are related to our daily routine life. In geometry, these shapes and figures are categorized into different category according to their properties like quadrilateral, circle, and polygons and so on. Here we are going to discussing about the geometrical shape 'polygon'. The concept of polygon helps the school's student to understand the geometrical concept very well. (know more about cbse latest sample papers , here)
Polygon is a geometrical shape which comes from the Greek word. Polygon word formed by the combination of two words, 'poly' which mean is “many” and 'gon' which mean is “angle”. A polygon is a shape that is drawn on the 2-D plane with help of straight lines or sides. In the simple mean we can say that polygon is the two dimensional shapes. These shapes are formed by straight lines and the shape is closed. It means that in this shape all the lines are connect to each other. In the polygon, according to the property of geometrical shape we can categorize the polygon into the following manner:
A) simplex or complex
B) Concave or convex
C)
Regular geometric shapes or irregular geometric shapes
Here we are going to discussing about the regular and irregular shape.
Regular geometric shapes are those shapes in which all the existing angles are equal and all the sides are equal. In the same aspect we can say that those figures whose existing angles and shapes are not equal in measure then these shapes are consider as a
Irregular geometric shapes. In the case of regular, equilateral triangle is the one of the best example because this triangle is made up of three straight sides, it is closed in shape and all the angles and sides are equal to each other. In the next session we are going to discuss Grade VII, Geometric concepts and In the next session we will discuss about Properties of 2-d and 3-d figures
