The width of a polygon will depend on its shape. For a polygon, in general, it is the length of the largest diagonal. However, for rectangles of squares it often refers to its smaller sides.

What does 2D shape mean?
It means two dimensional such as the shape of a polygon or a rectangle that has dimensions of length and width.
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Are 2 rectangles similar?
Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width. Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ), all squares are similar. Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.
What is a 3 d shape?
A 3D shape stands for Three-Dimensional. The three dimensions are Height, Width and Depth. A line just has height, so it is 1D. A polygon has both Height and width so it's 2D. A three dimensional object has all three; Height, Width and Depth.________^Height/Length = 1D-------------------| || | Depth |/ |----------------- |
How do you determine the area and perimeter of geometric figures?
Area is length x width. Meanwhile Perimeter is the addition of all the lengths and widths of the entire geometric polygon.

What is the area of a 2d shape?
The area of a polygon is calculated using different formula depending on the number of sides of the polygon. The formula for a quadrilateral is length times width, the formula for a circle is pi time the square of the radius, and the formula for a triangle is base times height, divided by two.
How do you find the volume of a pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid is: Volume= 1/3 area of base (length * width) * height OR V= 1/3LWH * * * * * A pyramid can have a base that is any convex polygon - not just a rectangle. So the "length * width" part of the formula is not generally valid.
What is a one sided polygon?
there cannot be a one sided polygon as a polygon is defined as a 2-dimentional shape, which has area, and is enclosed by straight sides. Thus a polygon must have at least 3 sides so that it can enclose an area. Perhaps the question is supposed to be more along the lines of what 2-dimentional shape has only one side? this would be a circle
Which is the characteristic of a rectangle?
It is a 4 sided quadrilateral polygon It has opposite parallel sides Its length is greater than its width Its area is length times width Its perimeter is the sum of its 4 sides It has 4 interior right angles that add up to 360 degrees It has 2 diagonals It will tessellate
What is a polygon with equal sides and angles is a what polygon?
it seems to me that the only polygon of your description is a square
Types of polygons?
A type of polygon is a rhombusial polygon, trysectalnict polygon, and a equilateral polygon.
Is a traingle a regular polygon or a polygon?
A triangle (not traingle) is a polygon. It can be a regular polygon but need not be.
