Drawing Polygons in LOGO

A polygon is a shape where all the sides are straight lines and all the inside angles are the same.
Drawing a Square

Drawing an Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle is made up three sides and the angle the turtle will need to turn at each corner is 120o degrees.
Drawing other Polygons
The table below shows how you could draw other polygons. Notice that the angle to turn is worked out by dividing 360 by the number of sides. Shape Angle to Turn Pentagon 72 Hexagon 60 Octagon 45 You could use the penup and pendown commands to draw lots of different polygons on the same page.
