Question

Which of the following statements are correct with respect to polygons?

• A. Edges of polygon does not intersect each other.
• B. Polygon is an open figure connected with vertices.
• C. Minimum number of sides required to make a polygon is $3$.
• D. Polygons have curvy sides along with straight one.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Minimum number of sides required to make a polygon is $3$.

A polygon is a closed planer figure which is made up of straight edges having one inside and one outside.

$\underset{–}{\text{Option 1}:}$ Edges of polygon does not intersect each other. It is true and can be seen from figure shown below:


$\text{ABC}$ is a polygon but $\text{PQRST}$ is not because $\text{PQRST}$ has two insides, but polygon has only one inside.

$\underset{–}{\text{Option 2}:}$ Polygon is closed figure not open figure because open figure does not have inside, it only has outsides.

$\underset{–}{\text{Option 3}:}$ Minimum number of sides required to make polygon is $3$. Polygon with three sides is called a triangle.


$\underset{–}{\text{Option 4}:}$There are only straight edges no curvy edges present in a polygon.
