what is the relationships between shapes?

Question

i keep researching but I can't find anything on it that is similar to my question. Someone help me please this is last minute and I really want to get it done! Anyone with an answer I give great gratitude to you! Thankyou

its for an assignment. i need to desribe the relationships between polygons like triangles quadrilaterals, pentagons, all the way up to a dodecagon. if that helps. thank you to anyone who helps me! i have been researching but i cant find anything so im worried. thanks agian to any1 who helps me

Answer 1

That's kind of an open question, luv. Can you narrow it down some? What kind of shapes are you talking about? Is this for a geometry class, a physics class, or something else?

Edit: OK, that makes it clearer. All of those shapes are called polygons. Essentially, that means "many sides". All of them have straight sides - no curves. Each of the ones you mentioned have a specific number of sides:

triangle - 3
quadrilateral - 4
pentagon - 5
hexagon - 6
septagon or heptagon - 7
octogon - 8
nonagon - 9
decagon - 10
dodecagon - 12

I'm not sure if 11 has a name to itself, but it can just be called an 11-gon.

The number of sides is the same as the number of interior angles and the number of vertices. If you measure only one exterior angle at each vertex (there are actually two, but they'll always be congruent to each other), then it's also the same as the number of exterior angles.

Those are the things that occur to me off the top of my head. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Is that the whole question? If so, it seems a little vague. The only thing I can think of is that shapes are either well-defined (like a square is an enclosed shape with four equal sides and four right angles) or not well defined (like a cloud or a mud puddle which can take any shape).

Answer 3

Welcome to Common Core...I asked the question because my First Grade, 7 year old granddaughter has it on her homework...really!!! And, then she says they don't even study most of the math homework in class. To me this Common Core version of math is worse than SMSG in the 1960's! Someone...anyone...in the Common Core math arena if you know PLEASE tell we the answer to: "What is the name of the flat shape that has no sides and no vertices? I say it is a straight line, but I'm old and not in the know for today's math...I could go on and on!!! Thank you for your help.

Answer 4

They are particularly the same and keep in changing their shapes into many shapes. I think that it start with a simple dot. Then it begin to getting "big" and evolute into many shapes and orders. Lastly, the name is given to the shapes.

Answer 5

i would much rather know the shape of a angelwithin

Answer 6

i dont know
