Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Circle is not a polygon.

To properly understand this answer, we have to know more about polygons.

Polygon :

• Polygon is a two dimensional shape (closed figure) which is formed by finite number of line segments (by connecting end to end).
• Example : Triangle (formed by three line segments), Pentagon (formed by five line segments).

Now, among the given shapes :

• Triangle is a polygon formed by three line segments (which are connected end to end).
• Rectangle is a polygon formed by four line segments (which are connected end to end).
• Kite's shape also catergosied as a polygon formed by four line segments (which are connected end to end).

Only the circle cannot be categorised as a polygon, because the external boundary of a circle is made up of a curved line insted of finite number of line segments.

Hence, circle is not a polygon.
