Uses Of Polygons In Real Life


Polygons can be used in Tangrams.
It is a puzzle which is one of the most popular games to lay. The objective is to use all the pieces to make a shape and they must touch but not overlap. Tangrams are made with several types of polygons.

In Popular Culture

They Might Be Giants have a song entitled 'Nonagon' on their children's album "Here Come the 123s".
The song anthropomorphizes each of the regular polygons with three through eight sides (except the heptagon), placing them at a party hosted by the Nonagon. A video on the DVD featuring this song shows each of the polygons as equiangular shapes with simply drawn human characteristics.
