Which name fits a flat shape made of straight segments joined in a closed loop?
- Cylinder
- Polyhedron
- Prism
- Polygon
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Polygon
1. A flat (plane) shape built from line segments joined end to end into a closed chain is a polygon.
2. A polyhedron, prism and cylinder are all solid, three-dimensional figures, so they fail.
3. The segments are the edges and their meeting points are the vertices.
