paul drew two poygons. one shape has 4 sides. the other shape has fewer than 4 sides. what could be the two shapes paul drew?

Paul drew a triangle and a quadrilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets revise the definition of a polygon

- A polygon is a 2-dimensional figure formed with at least

3 straight sides

- Examples:

* Triangles are polygons with 3 sides

* Quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides

Trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square, kite

* Pentagons are polygons with 5 sides

* Hexagons are polygons with 6 sides

- Now lets solve the problem

∵ Paul drew a polygon with 4 sides

∵ The quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides

∴ He drew a quadrilateral

∴ He could draw one of these shapes:

Trapezoid OR parallelogram OR rectangle OR rhombus OR square

OR kite

∵ Paul drew a polygon which has fewer than 4 sides

∵ The least number of the sides of the polygon is 3

∴ He drew a polygon with 3 sides

∵ Triangle is a polygon with 3 sides

∴ He drew a triangle

* Paul drew a triangle and a quadrilateral
