Let’s go step by step to fill in the table for each 2D shape.
We need to find:
- The
name of the shape
- How many
sides it has
- How many
vertices/corners it has
---
1. Red circle
- Name: Circle
- Sides: A circle has no straight sides → 0
- Vertices/Corners: No corners → 0
✔ So: Circle, 0 sides, 0 vertices
---
2. Yellow square
- Name: Square
- Sides: 4 equal straight sides
- Vertices: 4 corners (where sides meet)
✔ So: Square, 4 sides, 4 vertices
---
3. Green triangle
- Name: Triangle
- Sides: 3 straight sides
- Vertices: 3 corners
✔ So: Triangle, 3 sides, 3 vertices
---
4. Blue rectangle
- Name: Rectangle
- Sides: 4 straight sides (opposite sides equal)
- Vertices: 4 corners
✔ So: Rectangle, 4 sides, 4 vertices
---
5. Purple trapezoid
- Name: Trapezoid (or trapezium — but in most school curricula, “trapezoid” is used for a 4-sided shape with at least one pair of parallel sides)
- Sides: 4 straight sides
- Vertices: 4 corners
✔ So: Trapezoid, 4 sides, 4 vertices
*(Note: Even though two sides are slanted and two may be parallel, it still has 4 sides and 4 corners.)*
---
6. Purple pentagon
- Name: Pentagon
- Sides: 5 straight sides
- Vertices: 5 corners
✔ So: Pentagon, 5 sides, 5 vertices
---
Now let’s put it all together in order:
Final Answer:
1. Circle, 0, 0
2. Square, 4, 4
3. Triangle, 3, 3
4. Rectangle, 4, 4
5. Trapezoid, 4, 4
6. Pentagon, 5, 5
