Problem:
The task is to identify and name each of the regular polygons shown in the image.
Solution:
A
regular polygon is a polygon where all sides are of equal length, and all interior angles are equal. The names of regular polygons are based on the number of sides they have. Here is the list of common regular polygons:
1.
Triangle (3 sides)
2.
Square (4 sides)
3.
Pentagon (5 sides)
4.
Hexagon (6 sides)
5.
Heptagon (7 sides)
6.
Octagon (8 sides)
Now, let's identify and name each polygon in the given image step by step:
#### Row 1:
1.
First Polygon: This shape has 3 sides.
-
Name: Triangle
2.
Second Polygon: This shape has 4 sides.
-
Name: Square
3.
Third Polygon: This shape has 5 sides.
-
Name: Pentagon
#### Row 2:
1.
First Polygon: This shape has 6 sides.
-
Name: Hexagon
2.
Second Polygon: This shape has 7 sides.
-
Name: Heptagon
3.
Third Polygon: This shape has 8 sides.
-
Name: Octagon
#### Row 3:
1.
First Polygon: This shape has 7 sides.
-
Name: Heptagon
2.
Second Polygon: This shape has 8 sides.
-
Name: Octagon
3.
Third Polygon: This shape has 8 sides.
-
Name: Octagon
Final Answer:
Here is the completed list of names for each polygon:
| Row 1 | Row 2 | Row 3 |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Triangle | Hexagon | Heptagon |
| Square | Heptagon | Octagon |
| Pentagon | Octagon | Octagon |
$$
\boxed{\text{Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, Octagon, Heptagon, Octagon, Octagon}}
$$
