Given here are some figures.
Classify each of them on the basis of the following.
(a) Simple curve (b) Simple closed curve (c) Polygon (d) Convex polygon (e) Concave polygon
Observe each figure and classify them accordingly
Step 1 - Identify the given figures.
a) Simple curve:
Figures: 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 form a simple curve that changes direction but does not cross itself while changing direction.
b) Simple closed curve:
Figures 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 are simple closed curves as they form a closed plane curve that does not intersect itself.
c) Polygon:
Figures 1 and 2 are polygons as they are formed by union of three or more line segments whose endpoints meet.
d) Convex polygon:
Figure 2 is a convex polygon as it is a closed shape, where none of the vertices are pointed inward.
e) Concave polygon:
Figure 1 is concave polygon as one of its internal angles is greater than .
Hence figures 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 form a simple curve, figures 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 are simple closed curves, figures 1 and 2 are polygon, figure 2 is a convex polygon and figure 1 is concave polygon
