Question

This polygon is classified as:

  1. A hexagon
  2. A heptagon
  3. An octagon
  4. A nonagon

hintHint:

General Synopsis of Polygon.

The correct answer is: An octagon


    *In mathematics, a polygon is a closed two-dimensional figure made up of line segments.
    * Poly means many gon means angle. Hence, polygon is a closed figure that is made of many angles.
    *In General there are 4 types of polygons. They are:
    Regular Polygon
    Irregular Polygon
    Convex Polygon
    Concave polygon
    >>>Given That:

    >>>Number of sides in the figure = 8.
    >>>And it is a closed figure and hence, we can say that it is a polygon.
    >>>The polygon with 8 sides is called as an octagon.
    >>>Therefore, the given figure is an octagon.

    *A polygon with 8 sides is called an octagon.
    >>>Hence, the given figure is an octagon.

    When a square is pushed from one corner keeping the base as it is, which polygon is formed?

    If we select the upper corner of a square and push it, the square will bend in the direction of the force. So, the vertical edges would tilt in the direction of the force, leading to the formation of a new polygon named rhombus.
    >>Hence, the Polygon obtained from a square modification is RHOMBUS.

    What is the general form of naming a polygon?

    One can find this with a small trick. The student should learn to break the word. For example, Hexagon: Hexa+Gon. Now, as we know that hexa is six. Similarly, if a polygon has ‘n’ sides, then the polygon would be named as n-gon.
