Do 2D Shapes Have Sides

2D shapes have sides and vertices. A vertex is a point where two or more lines meet. The plural of vertex is vertices. Let’s have a look at the properties of these shapes.

What are the sides of a shape called?

The segments of a polygonal circuit are called its edges or sides. The points where two edges meet are the polygon’s vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of a solid polygon is sometimes called its body.

What is the side of an object?

One of the line segments that make a flat (2-dimensional) shape. Or one of the faces that make a solid (3-dimensional) object.
