What is a polygon with equal sides but unequal angles? What is a polygon with unequal sides but equal angles?

Answer 1

A polygon with equal sides and and angles is a regular polygon. If its sides or angles are not equal it is irregular.

Three and four sided shapes have more than one name, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, square, trapezium etc. All other polygons just have one name. So a regular five sided shape is called a regular pentagon and any other five sided shape is called an irregular pentagon.
