Let’s go step by step to identify each regular polygon.
A
regular polygon is a shape with all sides equal and all angles equal. We name them based on how many sides they have:
- 3 sides → Triangle
- 4 sides → Quadrilateral (but if it’s regular, we often say Square)
- 5 sides → Pentagon
- 6 sides → Hexagon
- 7 sides → Heptagon
- 8 sides → Octagon
- 9 sides → Nonagon
- 10 sides → Decagon
- 11 sides → Hendecagon
- 12 sides → Dodecagon
Now let’s count the sides for each shape in order:
---
1) Count the sides: 10 →
Decagon
2) Count the sides: 6 →
Hexagon
3) Count the sides: 9 →
Nonagon
4) Count the sides: 8 →
Octagon
5) Count the sides: 5 →
Pentagon
6) Count the sides: 5 →
Pentagon
7) Count the sides: 6 →
Hexagon
8) Count the sides: 10 →
Decagon
9) Count the sides: 8 →
Octagon
10) Count the sides: 9 →
Nonagon
11) Count the sides: 11 →
Hendecagon
12) Count the sides: 8 →
Octagon
---
I double-checked each one by counting the edges carefully. All shapes are regular (equal sides and angles), so we just match the number of sides to the correct name.
Final Answer:
1) Decagon
2) Hexagon
3) Nonagon
4) Octagon
5) Pentagon
6) Pentagon
7) Hexagon
8) Decagon
9) Octagon
10) Nonagon
11) Hendecagon
12) Octagon
