    Which of the following is NOT a polygon?

    • Square

    • Pentagon

    • Circle

    • Triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Circle
    Explanation
    A circle is not a polygon because it does not have straight sides. A polygon is a closed figure made up of straight line segments. A square, pentagon, and triangle all have straight sides and are considered polygons. However, a circle is a curved shape with no straight sides, therefore it is not a polygon.

    • Octagon

    • Pentagon

    • Quadrilateral

    Correct Answer
    A. Quadrilateral
    Explanation
    A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. It is the correct answer because it accurately describes the shape being asked for in the question. A triangle has three sides, an octagon has eight sides, and a pentagon has five sides, so they are not the correct names for a four sided polygon.

    What makes a polygon a regular polygon?

    • All sides are the same lenght

    • All angles are congruent

    • All angles are 90 degrees

    • All angles and sides are the same

    Correct Answer
    A. All angles and sides are the same
    Explanation
    A regular polygon is defined as having all angles and sides that are the same. This means that every angle in the polygon is congruent and every side has the same length. This property distinguishes a regular polygon from other polygons where the angles or sides may vary.

    A stop sign is what type of polygon?

    • Quadrilateral

    • Octagon

    • Hexagon

    • Pentagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Octagon
    Explanation
    A stop sign is an octagon because it has eight sides. The shape of a stop sign is specifically designed to be easily recognizable and to convey a sense of urgency to drivers. The octagonal shape helps to distinguish a stop sign from other road signs and signals, making it clear that drivers must come to a complete stop at that intersection.

    Which of the following is not a regular polygon?

    • Equilateral Triangle

    • Square

    • Rectangle

    • Regular Hexagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Rectangle
    Explanation
    A regular polygon has all sides of equal length and all interior angles of equal measure. An equilateral triangle, square, and regular hexagon meet these criteria. However, a rectangle does not because, while all angles are equal (90 degrees), its opposite sides are of equal length, but adjacent sides can differ in length. Therefore, it is not a regular polygon.
