Name: Pentagon
Number of lines: 5
---
✔ Final Answers Summary:
| Shape | Name | Number of Lines |
|-------|-------------|------------------|
| a | Triangle | 3 |
| b | Rectangle | 4 |
| c | Square | 4 |
| d | Hexagon | 6 |
| e | Octagon | 8 |
| f | Rhombus | 4 |
| g | Octagon | 8 |
| h | Pentagon | 5 |

🔍 Explanation:
Polygons are named based on the number of their sides:
-
Tri- = 3 → Triangle
-
Quad- = 4 → Quadrilateral (Rectangle, Square, Rhombus)
-
Penta- = 5 → Pentagon
-
Hexa- = 6 → Hexagon
-
Octa- = 8 → Octagon
Each side of a polygon is a straight line segment, so counting the sides gives the number of lines.
