  🧭 बहुभुजों की आत्मकथा: "हम कोनों वाले कलाकार हैं!" 1. मेरा नाम है – बहुभुज (Polygon)! नमस्ते, मैं हूँ एक बहुभुज । मेरा नाम बना है दो संस्कृत शब्दों से – “बहु” मतलब "कई" और “भुज” मतलब "भुजाएँ या रेखाएँ"। मैं एक बंद रेखीय आकृति हूँ, जिसकी सभी भुजाएँ सीधे रेखाखंड होती हैं – कोई वक्र, कोई गोलाई नहीं। मुझमें हमेशा कम से कम 3 भुजाएँ होती हैं – क्योंकि तीन से कम से आकृति बनती ही नहीं। 2. मेरी परिभाषा मैं एक ऐसा साधारण, बंद, रेखीय आकृति हूँ जिसमें: सभी भुजाएँ रेखाखंड होती हैं कोई भी दो भुजाएँ केवल एक सिरा साझा करती हैं आकृति पूरी तरह बंद होती है (open नहीं होती) 3. मैं कितने प्रकार का हो सकता हूँ? मैं आकार और कोणों के अनुसार दो तरह का होता हूँ: (i) नियमित बहुभुज (Regular Polygon): मेरी सभी भुजाएँ और सभी कोण बराबर होते हैं। उदाहरण: समभुज त्रिभुज, वर्ग, नियमित षट्भुज। (ii) अनियमित बहुभुज (Irregular Polygon): मेरी भुजाएँ और कोण बराबर नहीं होते। उदाहरण: स्केलिन त्रिभुज, समलंब चतुर्भुज। 4. मेरी श्रेणियाँ – मेरे कई रूप 🔺 3 भुजाएँ...

  📚 "The Tale of Polygons – Straight Lines, Sharp Minds!" 👋 Hello, I am Polygon – The Many-Sided Wonder! Greetings, little mathematicians! I am Polygon , a closed figure made only with straight lines. You won’t find any curves or bends in me – I’m all sharp and precise. My name comes from Greek: “poly” means many, and “gon” means angles. So yes – I’m the shape with many angles and sides! 🧾 My Definition: What Makes Me a Polygon? To be part of my family, a shape must have: Only straight sides (called line segments or edges ) A closed figure – no open ends Each side connects to exactly two other sides at endpoints (called vertices ) No crossing or overlapping sides (for simple polygons ) 🧩 How Many Types Am I? Based on My Sides and Angles, I Come in Two Flavors: 1. Regular Polygon: All sides are equal All interior angles are equal I’m the neatest one in the family! Example: Equilateral triangle, square, regular hexagon 2. Irregul...
