What figure is Two Dimensional but yet not a polygon?
A circle is one example of a plane figure that is not a polygon. A V is also not a polygon.
Does a polygon only have to have one straight line?
Although a polygon is usually thought of as a two-dimensional figure with at least three sides, there is nothing in the definition of a polygon that prohibits its use for the classification of a one-sided figure. A one-sided figure is known as a henagon or a monogon. A polygon, by definition, has as many vertices as it has sides, so a single-sided polygon would have to, in order to meet that criterion, curve in on itself so that the two ends of the side meet to form a vertex. In order for the polygon to not be curved, it would have to be made up of two straight lines (this figure is known as a digon). So no, a polygon cannot be a single straight line.
What is the difference between a polygon and a plane figure?
A polygon is a plane figure which comprises one area bounded by three or more straight line segments. A general plane figure can have curved boundaries or sides that cross each other.
What figure has one lateral surface and one base?
cone; circle is the base
One hundred sided shape?
A polygon is a closed plane figure composed of several line segments that are joined together. A one hundred sided polygon is called a hectogon or a hecatontagon.
