Question

Describe a figure of a closed curve that is not polygon

Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question we have to describe a figure that is a closed figure but it is not a polygon. Firstly we know the definition and examples of a closed curve and polygon. Then we get a clear picture on two terms. Hence we get a required solution for the given question.

Complete answer:
Firstly we know the definition of closed figure and the polygon, then we get a solution for the given question.
Closed curve:
A closed curve is any design that has no end points drawn on a flat surface . In other words, if you draw a design, without lifting your pencil, and end at the point you began, it would be a closed curve. There is no way in or out of the shape.
The example for the closed curve is a circle.
Polygon:
A Polygon is a closed figure made up of line segments in a two-dimensional plane. Polygon is the combination of two words, i.e., poly (means many) and gon (means sides).
A minimum of three-line segments is required to connect end to end, to make a closed figure. Thus a polygon with a minimum of three sides is known as Triangle and it is also called 3-gon. An n-sided polygon is called n-gon.
The example for the polygon is triangle, quadrilateral etc.,
A circle is also a plane figure but it is not considered as a polygon, because it is a curved shape and does not have sides or angles.
Therefore a circle is a closed curve that is not a polygon.

Note:
When we have to distinguish between two terms firstly we have to know about the terms. The polygons are triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, pentagon etc., for this figure we have a line segment. But the circle does not have any kind of line segment. From which point we start a curve it will meet at the end also the same point.
