A polygon having ten sides is called decagon.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.This interesting question is from Polygon in section Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

The correct option is (a) True

The BEST I can explain: The word polygon is a LATIN word (where ‘POLY’ means many ‘Gon’ means SIDES). This is derived by the number of sides possessed by the figure. Here we take an example of six sided figure in Latin six is hex therefore the name of the figure is ‘hexagon’. Similarly, ten sided figure is KNOWN as a decagon.
