A polygon is regular or a polygon has a side which is longer than another side of the
polygon.
If a polygon is regular then all the sides of the polygon are congruent.
If a polygon has one side which is longer than another side of the polygon, then an
interior angle of the polygon has measure greater than one of the interior angles of the
polygon.
Therefore, either the polygon have congruent sides or an interior angle of the polygon
has a measure greater than one of the interior angles of the polygon. (truth table )

Answer:
If your shape is a regular polygon (such as a square in the example above) then it is only necessary to measure one side as, by definition, the other sides of a regular polygon are the same length.
Step-by-step explanation:
As well as the number of sides and the angles between sides, the length of each side of shapes is
also important.
The length of the sides of a plane shape enables you to calculate the shape’s perimeter (the distance around the outside of the shape) and area (the amount of space inside the shape.
In the example of the rectangle we needed to measure two sides - the two unmeasured sides are equal to the two measured sides.
It is common for some dimensions not to be shown for more complex shapes. In such cases missing dimensions can be calculated.
