properties of all 2D shapes
Answers
Answer:
2D Shapes Names:
- Circle
- Triangle
- Square
- Rectangle
- Pentagon
- Octagon
Circle:
A circle is a closed 2d figure in which the set of all the points in the plane is equidistant from a given point called “center”. The distance from the center to the outer line of the circle is called a radius. The example of the circle in real life are wheels, pizzas, orbit, etc.
Triangle:
A triangle is a three-sided polygon (2d Shape) which has three edges and three vertices. The sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Pyramids are the best example of a triangle shape.
Square:
A square is a four-sided polygon (2d Shape), whose four sides are equal in length and all the angles are equal to 90°. It is considered to be a two-dimensional regular quadrilateral. The diagonals of the square also bisect each other at 90°. A wall or a table where all the sides are equal are the examples of square shape.
Rectangle:
A rectangle is a 2d shape which has four sides, where the opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other. All the angles of a rectangle are equal to 90°. A brick, TV, cardboard, which has length and breadth are examples of the rectangle.
Pentagon:
A pentagon is a five-sided polygon (2d Shape), and it can be regular or irregular. In the case of a regular pentagon, each interior angle is equal to 108°, and each exterior angle measures 72°. It has five diagonals. The Pentagon building, which is the headquarters of the US Department of Defense, is a great example of the pentagon shape.
Octagon:
An octagon is an eight-sided polygon which can be either regular or irregular. It is a 2d shape which has eight angles. The sum of all the interior angles of an octagon is 1080°. The stop sign board has an octagon shape, which you can see on the roadside.
Properties of 2D shapes are:
Square:
Four equal sides
Four equal angles (90°)
Four axes of symmetry
Rectangle:
2 sets of 2 equal sides
Four equal angles(90°)
Two axes of symmetry
Triangle:
It can have no, 2 or 3 equal sides
It can have no, 2 or 3 equal angles
Usually no axes of symmetry
Circle:
Constant diameter and radius
The total angle of a circle is equal to 360 degrees
Almost infinite axes of symmetry going through the centre
Pentagon:
5 sides (can be equal or unequal)
5 angles (can be equal or unequal)
It can have up to 5 axes of symmetry
Hexagon:
6 sides (can be equal or unequal)
6 angles (can be equal or unequal)
It can have up to 6 axes of symmetry
