Short Answer TypeGiven here are some figures. 
Classify each of them on the basis of the following.
(a) Simple curve
(b) Simple closed curve
(c) Polygon
(d) Convex polygon
(e) Concave polygon
How many diagonals does each of the following have?
(a) A convex quadrilateral
(b) A regular hexagon
(c) A triangle
What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and try!)
Examine the table. (Each figure is divided into triangles and the sum of the angles deduced from that).

2 x 180° = (4 - 2) x 180° |
3 x 180° = (5 - 2) x 180° |
4 x 180° = (6 - 2) x 180° |
