Are all two dimensional shapes are polygons?

Not all two-dimensional shapes are polygons. Polygons are specifically defined as closed, flat shapes with straight sides, such as triangles, rectangles, and pentagons. Other two-dimensional shapes, like circles and ellipses, do not have straight sides and therefore do not qualify as polygons.


How are hexagons a subcategory of polygons?

Hexagons are a subcategory of polygons because they are defined as six-sided polygons. Polygons are flat, two-dimensional shapes with straight sides, and they can have any number of sides. Since hexagons meet the criteria of having straight edges and being enclosed, they fit within the broader category of polygons. Thus, all hexagons are polygons, but not all polygons are hexagons.
