Why are polygons at the top of the Polygon Hierarchy? Polygons Quadrilaterals Parallelograms Trapezoids Rhombus Rectangles What is a polygon? A polygon is any closed figure formed by segments that does not have any curved sides.

Squares, rhombuses, and rectangles are all formed by segments with no curved lines, and two sets of parallel lines, which would qualify them to be categorized as a parallelogram. In order for a shape to be a parallelogram, or a trapezoid, it has to be a quadrilateral, and all quadrilaterals are polygons, which automatically makes every shape listed a polygon. Interesting fact: The word ‘polygon’ derives from the Greek word ‘poly’, meaning ‘many’ and ‘gonia’, meaning ‘angle.

A quadrilateral is any four-sided polygon whose angles have a sum of 360 degrees.

Squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids are and will always be four sided shapes whose interior angles add up to 360 degrees. Being that a rectangles, a square, and a rhombus are all a parallelogram, that means a parallelogram is a quadrilaterals. Quadrilaterals are underneath polygons because not every polygon has four sides, but every quadrilateral will always be a polygon. Interesting fact: The word ‘quadrilateral’ comes from ‘quad’ meaning ‘ 4’ and ‘lateral’ meaning ‘of sides’

Why are parallelograms beneath quadrilaterals and polygons? What is a parallelogram? A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. All parallelograms have four sides and two sets of parallel lines, which means that all rectangles, rhombuses, and squares are parallelograms since they have four sides and two pairs of parallel lines. While a trapezoid does have four sides, it only have one set of parallel lines, which would explain why it is not connected to parallelograms on the polygon hierarchy. Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral, that means that all quadrilaterals are not parallelograms which would explain why all quadrilaterals are not parallelograms. A simple explanation for why all polygons are not parallelograms is that a polygon does not have to have four sides, which explains why polygons are higher than parallelograms.

And we can see that the top and the bottom are parallel to each other, which mean it qualifies to be a trapezoid. A trapezoid is and will always be a quadrilateral, and since all quadrilaterals are polygons, that explain why trapezoids are beneath polygons, and quadrilaterals. Being that a trapezoid only has one set of parallel sides, it does not qualify to be a parallelogram, which explains why trapezoids are not connected to parallelograms or anything beneath it. Interesting fact: The altitude of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases.
Polygons Why are rectangles below parallelograms and not connected to rhombuses? Quadrilaterals Parallelograms Trapezoids Rhombus Rectangles What is a rectangle? A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four 90 degree angles, two sets of parallel lines, but all the sides are not the same length.

Rectangles are not connected to trapezoids because a trapezoid has only one set of parallel lines, and a rectangle is not connected to rhombuses because the rectangle does not have all side lengths, and when a diagonal is placed through the rectangle it does not create two equal angle measures, while in a rhombus it does. A rectangle can not be classified as a square either because all of the rectangles sides are not congruent, which explains why squares are placed below rectangles, and not above them in the polygon hierarchy.

The angles are not 90 degrees, which could classify this shape as a Why are rhombuses below parallelograms, above squares, and not connected to rectangles? What is a rhombus? A rhombus is a parallelogram with opposite equal acute angles, opposite equal obtuse angles, and four equal sides A rhombus is a parallelogram because it has two sets of parallel lines, and every parallelogram is a quadrilateral, which classifies every do quadrilateral as a polygon. That explain why rhombuses are beneath parallelograms, quadrilaterals, and polygons. A rhombus can’t and will never be a trapezoid because a trapezoid is not a parallelogram and in order to be a rhombus, you have to be a parallelogram also. A rhombus is not a rectangle because a rectangle does not have all equal sides while rhombuses do. A rhombus is not a square because it does not have four right angles, but a square is a rhombus because a square is of all equal measures, as is the rhombus, which explains why a square is a rhombus, but a rhombus is not a square.

It has four right angles, two pairs of parallel lines, and that makes it a rectangle, and a square. Why are squares at the bottom of the polygon hierarchy? What is a square? A square is a quadrilateral with four equal straight sides and four right angles. A square is a rectangle because a square has four right angles, and four equal sides, while a rectangle has only two equal sides, so a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t a square. A square is also a rhombus because do all equal sides, and the diagonal bisects the angles as it does a rhombus has for a square, but a rhombus is not a square because it does not have four right angles. Since a square is a rectangle, and a rhombus, and both of the two shapes are parallelograms, that means a square is also a parallelograms. All parallelograms are quadrilaterals, and polygons, which means all squares are also quadrilaterals and polygons. A square is not a rhombus and never will be because a rhombus does not have all equal sides, which a square does. There is nothing below squares because a rectangle, rhombus, nor a trapezoid will ever be a square. All quadrilaterals are not squares, for example, a trapezoid. And all polygons are not squares, for example, a triangle. That is why everything is above squares and nothing is below it.
