Open and Closed Figures
Closed Shapes
Basic geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles are a few 2D shapes. These figures are referred such as polygons. Any flat form or plane on a piece of paper is a polygon. They have finite closed boundaries made up of line segments known as sides of the polygon. Geometric figures such as polygons are known as closed figures. The boundary of a closed figure could be either made up of line segments or curves. Therefore, any geometric object that begins and ends at the same location and forms a border using line segments or curves is considered to be a closed figure.
Open Shapes
Open shapes aren’t complete. The beginning points and finishing point must be met in order to draw a closed figure. Using line segments or curves to represent open figures is another option, but at least the lines will be broken up. The origin and destination of an open figure are distinct.
Geometric Shapes in Maths
Geometric Shapes: Geometric shapes are the figures used in mathematics to represent the forms of real-world things. Shapes are the forms of things in geometry that have boundaries, angles, and surfaces.
There are two types of geometric figures:
- 2D Shapes(Two-dimensional)
- 3D Shapes(Three-dimensional)
Shapes are also divided into two types based on their regularity or uniformity.
- Regular Shapes– Symmetric shapes such as squares, circles, etc.
- Irregular Shapes– Asymmetric shapes or freeform shapes.
