Well, hello there! Counting vertices in polygons is a lot like counting happy little trees in a painting. Simply look at each corner where the sides of the shape meet, and that's a vertex! Just take your time, breathe, and enjoy the process of discovering the beauty in geometry. Remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.

The vertices refer to the points where to sides of a shape come into contact. So for example, a triangle has three vertices because its sides meet at three points. Each polygon also has the same number of vertices as sides (pentagon = 5 vertices, etc.)
Yes, polygons have the same number of sides and vertices.
A shape that has more than 4 vertices is called a polygon. Polygons are closed geometric figures with straight sides. Examples of polygons with more than 4 vertices include a pentagon (5 vertices), hexagon (6 vertices), heptagon (7 vertices), octagon (8 vertices), nonagon (9 vertices), decagon (10 vertices), and so on. Each vertex represents a point where two sides of the shape meet.
They are polygons. They have fewer than 5 sides. They have fewer than 5 vertices.
Rectangles are plane (2-dimensional) polygons. Only solid (3-dimensional) polyhedrons have faces.
vertices is just a more complicated way of saying corners So if you count all the corners of a cube they equal 8
