alleryWhich statement about corners and sides of any polygon is true?
ACorners are fewer than sides
BCorners equal the number of sides
CCorners are double the sides
DCorners are one more than sides
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Corners equal the number of sides
1. Each side ends at two corners, and each corner joins two sides in a closed chain.
2. Hence a polygon has exactly as many corners as sides.
3. A triangle, with 3 sides and 3 corners, shows the other options are wrong.
