Question

1. write the number of sides that relate to each type of polygon/shape.

type of polygon\tnumber of sides
triangle\t
rectangle\t
pentagon\t
hexagon\t
octagon\t

1. true or false:

each polygon has only one correct number of sides.
(in other words, every input has only one output value).
true\tfalse

Explanation:

Part 1: Number of Sides for Each Polygon

We know the following about the number of sides of different polygons:

• A triangle is a 3 - sided polygon.
• A rectangle (which is a type of quadrilateral) has 4 sides.
• A pentagon has 5 sides (the prefix "penta - " means 5).
• A hexagon has 6 sides (the prefix "hexa - " means 6).
• An octagon has 8 sides (the prefix "octa - " means 8).

So the completed table is:

type of polygon	Number of sides
rectangle	4
pentagon	5
hexagon	6
octagon	8

Part 2: True or False

A polygon is defined by the number of its sides. For example, a triangle is always a 3 - sided polygon, a rectangle is always a 4 - sided polygon, and so on. Each type of polygon has a unique number of sides associated with its definition. So the statement "Each polygon has only one correct number of sides. (In other words, every input has ONLY ONE output value)" is True.
