All 2D Shapes Names
A 2D shape, also known as a two-dimensional shape, is a flat shape that has length and width, but no thickness. It can be drawn on a piece of paper or on a computer screen.
Here are some of the most common 2D shapes:
Basic Shapes:
- Circle: A closed shape with all points the same distance from the center.
- Square: A four-sided shape with all sides equal and all angles right angles (90 degrees).
- Rectangle: A four-sided shape with opposite sides equal and all angles right angles (90 degrees).
- Triangle: A three-sided shape with three angles that add up to 180 degrees.
- Polygon: A closed shape made up of straight line segments.
- Pentagon: A polygon with five sides.
- Hexagon: A polygon with six sides.
- Heptagon: A polygon with seven sides.
- Octagon: A polygon with eight sides.
- Nonagon: A polygon with nine sides.
- Decagon: A polygon with ten sides.
Other Shapes:
- Ellipse: A closed curve that is oval-shaped.
- Star: A shape with multiple points that are connected by straight lines.
- Heart: A shape that resembles the human heart.
- Spiral: A curve that winds around a central point.
Shapes with Special Properties:
- Equilateral Triangle: A triangle with all sides equal.
- Isosceles Triangle: A triangle with two sides equal.
- Right Triangle: A triangle with one right angle (90 degrees).
- Rhombus: A four-sided shape with all sides equal but with angles that are not all right angles.
- Parallelogram: A four-sided shape with opposite sides parallel and equal.
- Trapezoid: A four-sided shape with one pair of parallel sides.
- Kite: A four-sided shape with two pairs of adjacent sides equal.
These are just a few of the many 2D shapes that exist. Learning about different shapes can help you understand the world around you better. You can find shapes in nature, in buildings, and even in art.
