Let’s go shape by shape and decide what to write: P for polygon, Q for quadrilateral, or B if it’s both.
First, remember:
- A
polygon is any closed shape made of straight lines (no curves).
- A
quadrilateral is a polygon with exactly 4 sides.
So every quadrilateral is also a polygon — but not every polygon is a quadrilateral.
Now let’s look at each shape:
1.
Triangle (top left)
- It has 3 straight sides → it’s a polygon → write
P
- Not 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
2.
Square-like shape (top right)
- Has 4 straight sides → it’s a polygon AND a quadrilateral → write
B
3.
Star (second row left)
- Made of straight lines, closed shape → it’s a polygon → write
P
- More than 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
4.
Pentagon (second row right)
- 5 straight sides → polygon → write
P
- Not 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
5.
Hexagon (third row left)
- 6 straight sides → polygon → write
P
- Not 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
6.
Square (third row right)
- 4 straight sides → polygon AND quadrilateral → write
B
7.
Arrow shape (bottom left)
- Looks like two triangles stuck together — count the sides: 6 straight sides → polygon → write
P
- Not 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
8.
Right triangle (bottom right)
- 3 straight sides → polygon → write
P
- Not 4 sides → not a quadrilateral
Let me double-check each one to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
✔ Triangle – 3 sides → P
✔ Square-like – 4 sides → B
✔ Star – many sides, all straight → P
✔ Pentagon – 5 sides → P
✔ Hexagon – 6 sides → P
✔ Square – 4 sides → B
✔ Arrow – 6 sides → P
✔ Right triangle – 3 sides → P
All correct!
Final Answer:
Top row: P, B
Second row: P, P
Third row: P, B
Bottom row: P, P
