True or false? To draw a polygon, you must draw at
least three line segments.
Let’s draw a shape with three line
segments. One, two, three. We drew a triangle. This triangle is a polygon. It has three line segments. All of its lines are straight. And it’s a closed shape. Is it possible to draw a polygon
which has less than three line segments?
This figure is made from two line
segments. Is it a polygon? No, it’s an open shape. We know that polygons are closed
shapes. Here’s another figure made from two
line segments. This is also an open figure. So to draw a polygon, we need at
least three sides or three line segments. The given statement is true. To draw a polygon, you must draw at
least three line segments.
