Looking at the worksheet, I can see it’s titled “Polygon Practice” and shows 12 different shapes. Since the directions say “Enter Text,” I’ll assume the task is to identify which of these shapes are polygons — because that’s what “polygon practice” means.
A polygon is a flat shape made only of straight lines that connect to form a closed figure. No curves allowed! Also, all the lines must be connected — no gaps.
Let me go through each shape one by one:
1. Top left: It looks like a square missing one side → NOT closed → Not a polygon.
2. Top middle: Oval → has curves → Not a polygon.
3. Top right: Star → made of straight lines, closed → YES, it’s a polygon (specifically a decagon).
4. Second row left: Trapezoid → straight lines, closed → YES, polygon.
5. Second row middle: Heart → has curves → Not a polygon.
6. Second row right: Circle → all curve → Not a polygon.
7. Third row left: Parallelogram → straight lines, closed → YES, polygon.
8. Third row middle: Pentagon → 5 straight sides, closed → YES, polygon.
9. Third row right: Two rectangles stuck together → still all straight, closed → YES, polygon (it’s a hexagon actually).
10. Bottom left: Blobby shape → curves → Not a polygon.
11. Bottom middle: Triangle → 3 straight sides, closed → YES, polygon.
12. Bottom right: Shape with a gap → not closed → Not a polygon.
So the polygons are:
- Star
- Trapezoid
- Parallelogram
- Pentagon
- Combined rectangle shape
- Triangle
That’s 6 shapes total.
Final Answer:
The polygons in the worksheet are: star, trapezoid, parallelogram, pentagon, the combined rectangle shape, and triangle.
