True or false: The two given shapes
have the same number of vertices.
We have to decide if this statement
is true or false. Do the given shapes have the same
number of vertices? Let’s start by marking and counting
the vertices on the first shape. A vertex is the place where two or
more edges meet. Here’s one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. This shape has eight vertices. Now, we need to count and then
compare the number of vertices on the second shape. One, two, three, four, five,
six. The two given shapes don’t have the
same number of vertices. Our first shape has eight vertices,
and the second has six. The statement which says that both
shapes have the same number of vertices is false because each shape has a different
number of vertices.
