Properties of 2D Shapes

The video tutorial introduces two-dimensional (2D) shapes, highlighting their flat nature and common examples like triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares. It explains how 2D shapes can be defined by their sides, with some having straight sides and others not. The concept of vertices is introduced, explaining that some shapes have corners while others do not. The tutorial also covers the idea of closed shapes, demonstrating how tracing a shape can help determine if it is closed. Overall, the video provides a foundational understanding of 2D shapes, their characteristics, and how to identify them.

Which of the following is a common feature of all 2D shapes?
