Definition:Polygon/Adjacent

Definition
Each vertex of a polygon is formed by the intersection of two sides.

The two sides that form a particular vertex are referred to as the adjacents of that vertex, or described as adjacent to that vertex.

Similarly, each side of a polygon intersects two other sides, and so is terminated at either endpoint by two vertices.

The two vertices that terminate a particular side are referred to as the adjacents of that side, or described as adjacent to that side.

Finally, two sides of a polygon that meet at the same vertex are adjacent to each other.
