  A polygon is a two-dimensional figure with three or more straight sides. (So triangles are actually a type of polygon.)

  Polygons are named according to the number of sides they have. All polygons, no matter how many sides they posse A polygon is a two-dimensional figure with three or more straight sides. (So triangles are actually a type of polygon.) Polygons are named according to the number of sides they have.

  All polygons, no matter how many sides they possess, share certain characteristics:

  The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n – 2). For instance, the sum of the interior angles of an octagon is (8 – 2) = 6 = .

  The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is .

  The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

  The perimeter of the hexagon below is 5 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 6 + 9 = 35.

  Regular Polygons

  The polygon whose perimeter you just calculated was an irregular polygon. But most of the polygons on the SAT are regular: Their sides are of equal length and their angles congruent. Neither of these conditions can exist without the other. If the sides are all equal, the angles will all be congruent, and vice versa. In the diagram below, you’ll see, from left to right, a regular pentagon, a regular octagon, and a square (also known as a regular quadrilateral):

  Quadrilaterals

  Good news: Most polygons on the SAT have just four sides. You won’t have to tangle with any dodecahedrons on the SAT you take. But this silver cloud actually has a dark lining: There are five different types of quadrilaterals that pop up on the test. These five quadrilaterals are trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.

  Trapezoids

  A trapezoid may sound like a new Star Wars character.

  Certainly, it would be less annoying than Jar Jar Binks.

  But it’s actually the name of a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides and one pair of nonparallel sides.

  In this trapezoid, AB is parallel to CD (shown by the arrow marks), whereas AC and BD are not parallel.

  The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

  where s1 and s2 are the lengths of the parallel sides (also called the bases of the trapezoid), and h is the height. In a trapezoid, the height is the perpendicular distance from one base to the other.

  To find the area of a trapezoid on the SAT, you’ll often have to use your knowledge of triangles. Try to find the area of the trapezoid pictured below:

  The question tells you the length of the bases of this trapezoid, 6 and 10. But to find the area, you first need to find the height. To do that, split the trapezoid into a rectangle and a 45-45-90 triangle by drawing in the height.

  Once, you’ve drawn in the height, you can split the base that’s equal to 10 into two parts: The base of the rectangle is 6, and the leg of the triangle is 4. Since the triangle is 45-45-90, the two legs must be equal.

  This leg, though, is also the height of the trapezoid.

  So the height of the trapezoid is 4. Now you can plug the numbers into the formula:

  Parallelogram

  A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.

  In a parallelogram,

  Opposite sides are equal in length: BC = AD and AB = DC

  Opposite angles are equal: and

  Adjacent angles are supplementary:

  The diagonals bisect (split) each other: BE = ED and AE = EC

  One diagonal splits a parallelogram into two congruent

  triangles:

  Two diagonals split a parallelogram into two pairs of congruent triangles: and

  The area of a parallelogram is given by the formulawhere b is the length of the base, and h is the height.
