Let’s go step by step to fill in the table.
We need to find for each polygon:
- Number of sides
- Number of vertices (corners)
- Number of angles
Remember: For any simple polygon (no crossing lines), the number of sides = number of vertices = number of angles. That’s because every side connects two vertices, and at each vertex there’s one angle.
Let’s go row by row:
1.
Square
- It has 4 straight sides.
- So, 4 vertices (corners).
- And 4 angles (all right angles).
→ All are 4.
2.
Rhombus
- Also a 4-sided shape (like a tilted square).
- 4 vertices, 4 angles.
→ All are 4.
3.
Pentagon
- “Penta” means five.
- So, 5 sides, 5 vertices, 5 angles.
→ All are 5.
4.
Hexagon
- “Hexa” means six.
- 6 sides, 6 vertices, 6 angles.
→ All are 6.
5.
Parallelogram
- A 4-sided shape with opposite sides parallel.
- Still 4 sides, 4 vertices, 4 angles.
→ All are 4.
6.
Triangle
- “Tri” means three.
- 3 sides, 3 vertices, 3 angles.
→ All are 3.
7.
Trapezoid
- A 4-sided shape with at least one pair of parallel sides.
- Still 4 sides, 4 vertices, 4 angles.
→ All are 4.
8.
Rectangle
- Like a stretched square — still 4 sides.
- 4 vertices, 4 angles (all right angles).
→ All are 4.
9.
Octagon
- “Octa” means eight.
- 8 sides, 8 vertices, 8 angles.
→ All are 8.
Now let’s put it all together in the table format.
Final Answer:
| Polygons | Number of sides | Number of vertices | Number of angles |
|--------------|------------------|--------------------|------------------|
| Square | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Rhombus | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Pentagon | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Hexagon | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| Parallelogram| 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Triangle | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Trapezoid | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Rectangle | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Octagon | 8 | 8 | 8 |
