Front

How do undefined terms like point, line, and plane help us describe geometric figures such as polygons?

Back

They serve as the building blocks. A polygon is made up of points (vertices) connected by lines (sides) that lie on a flat surface (plane).

Front

What makes a shape a polygon, and how can we identify it using points and lines?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more straight line segments connected at points called vertices. If the lines are straight and form a closed path, the shape is a polygon.

Front

Why is understanding undefined terms important before learning about polygons?

Back

Because we use undefined terms to define and describe more complex shapes. Without knowing what points, lines, and planes are, we can’t clearly explain or build polygons.
