Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the shapes provided in the image to determine whether they are regular polygons, irregular polygons, or neither.
-
Shape A (purple quadrilateral): The sides are marked as unequal, and the angles do not appear to be equal. Therefore, this is an irregular polygon.
-
Shape B (orange pentagon): The sides and angles are not equal, making this an irregular polygon.
-
Shape C (blue octagon): The sides are marked as equal, and it appears that all angles are equal. Therefore, this is a regular polygon.
-
Shape D (yellow triangle): It has two equal sides and unequal angles. This makes it an irregular polygon (specifically an isosceles triangle).
-
Shape E (green circle): A circle is not a polygon because it has no straight sides or vertices. Therefore, it is neither a regular nor an irregular polygon.
Here’s a summary of the classification:
- A: Irregular polygon
- B: Irregular polygon
- C: Regular polygon
- D: Irregular polygon
- E: Neither

- What is the minimum number of sides a polygon can have?
- How do the interior angles of a polygon relate to its side count?
- Can a regular polygon be concave?
Tip: A regular polygon has both equal-length sides and equal angles at every vertex.
