Select each correct answer.


Figure A

Figure C

Figure D

Answer 1

Figure a and b are both polygons with three or more sides

Answer 2

Answer: The correct options are

(1) Figure A.

(2) Figure B.

(3) Figure C.

Explanation: We are given to select the figures that are polygons.

POLYGON : A polygon is a plane shape with straight sides having number of sides greater than or equal to three.

In Figure 1, there are three straight sides, so it is a polygon with three sides. We call it a TRIANGLE

In Figure 2, There are four straight sides, so it is a polygon with four sides. We call it a QUADRILATERAL.

In Figure 3, there are six straight sides, so it is a polygon with six sides. We call it a HEXAGON.

In Figure 4, there is no straight side, and hence the figure is NOT a polygon.

Thus, the correct Figures are A, B and C.

Options (1), (2) and (3) are correct.
