An objects shape is defined by a ___________.

• Rendering

• Path

• Points

• Fill

Answer explanation

The PATHS define the boundaries of a shape, and the path has points along the path. Then you can fill the shape and then add shading to it to render it.

The shape of a vector path is defined by the __________ that are plotted along that path.

• Lines

• Strokes

• Anchor Points

• Objects

Answer explanation

Anchor points along a path can be smooth or corner points thus creating the shape.

The ________ color follows the path.

• Line

• Shape

• Fill

• Stroke

Answer explanation
