Solved Examples On Geometry

 Is the given shape an example of a simple closed curve that is also
a polygon?

Solution:

A closed shape that does not cross itself is a simple closed curve. Polygons are
closed shapes formed of only straight lines like triangles, rectangles,
pentagons and so on.

The given figure is curved and is not made of only straight lines, this is not a
polygon.

 In a triangle ABC, right angled at B, if ∠C=45° what is the measure

of ∠A?
Solution: △ ABC is the given right triangle with ∠B=90°.
Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

∠A+∠C=180°-90°=90°

But, ∠C=45° hence ∠A=90°-45°=45°
