A detailed tutorial on how to identify decagons. Step by step tutorial including several examples of identifying decagons for reference.
Overview
A decagon is any polygon that has ten sides. Decagons can either be regular or irregular. Regular decagons are close to the shape of a circle with 10 straight edges. Irregular decagons are any other shape that has ten sides, provided that it is still considered a polygon.

Overview
A nonagon is any polygon that has nine sides. Nonagons can either be regular or irregular. Regular nonagons are close to the shape of a circle with 9 straight edges. Irregular nonagons are any other shape that has nine sides, provided that it is still considered a polygon.
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to identify octagons. Step by step tutorial including several examples of identifying octagons for reference.
Overview
An octagon is any polygon that has eight sides. Octagons can either be regular or irregular. Regular octagons are close to the shape of a circle with 8 straight edges. Irregular octagons are any other shape that has eight sides, provided that it is still considered a polygon.
Description

Overview
A hexagon is any polygon that has six sides. Hexagons can either be regular or irregular. Regular hexagons are close to the shape of a circle with 6 straight edges. Irregular hexagons are any other shape that has six sides, provided that it is still considered a polygon.
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to identify pentagons. Step by step tutorial including several examples of identifying pentagons for reference.
Overview
A pentagon is any polygon that has five sides. Pentagons can either be regular or irregular. Regular pentagons are close to the shape of a house. Irregular pentagons are any other shape that has five sides, provided that it is still considered a polygon.
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to use parametrization. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to use parametrization for reference.
Overview
Parametrization can be used in many different branches of math, including algebra and calculus. Parametrization involves setting up parameters necessary for the complete or relevent specification of a geometric object. This means it is only used when calculating a shape or part of a shape, because that is what a geometric object is. Sometimes, this is nothing more than identifying the parameters. Other times it becomes an involved mathematical process that is used to find out what the parameters are.
Description
A detailed tutorial on square matrices and how to identify them. Step by step tutorial including several examples of square matrices for reference.
Overview
A square matrix is a simple matrix in the shape of a square. It has the same number of rows and columns. Square matrices are called nxn matrces. The most common values for n are 2 and 3. Two columns and rows is the smallest amount of rows and columns a square matrix can have – matrices with only one value are not considered to be square.
Description
A detailed tutorial on locating the origin of a graph. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to locate the origin for reference.
Overview
The origin in mathematical terms means the center. Typically, the term origin is used with a graph in the Cartesian coordinate system. When on a graph, the origin is found at the point (0, 0), where the x-axis and y-axis intersect. Other common things to hear an origin being attributed to are geometrical shapes, most often a circle.
Description
A detailed tutorial on the definition of a lemniscate. Step by step tutorial including a visual example of a lemniscate for reference.
Overview
A lemniscate is any figure 8 type shape that shows up in mathematics. These figure 8 type shapes are sideways, instead of the normal vertical format of a figure 8. One of the best known lemniscates is the infinity symbol, which resembles a figure 8 tipped on its side.
