Regular Polygons for Competitive Exam – Quantitative Aptitude

Regular Polygons (नियमित बहुभुज) In Hindi

1. बहुभुज एक समतल, द्वि-आयामी आकृति होती है जिसकी भुजाएँ सीधी होती हैं।
2. समबहुभुज एक विशेष प्रकार का बहुभुज होता है जिसकी सभी भुजाएँ लंबाई में बराबर होती हैं और सभी आंतरिक कोण माप में समान होते हैं।

Regular Polygons In English

1. A polygon is a flat, two-dimensional shape with straight sides.
2. A regular polygon is a special type of polygon where all sides are equal in length and all interior angles are equal in measure.
3. Example: A square is a polygon with made by joining 4 straight lines of equal length.

Parts of a Polygon

A polygon has three parts:

Sides: A line segment that joins two vertices is known as a side.
Vertices: The point at which two sides meet is known as a vertex.
Angles: interior and exterior. An interior angle is the angle formed within the enclosed surface of the polygon by joining the sides.

Square formula

Perimeter: The perimeter P of a square with side length s is given by:
