give the name of a geometric figure that fits the following characteristics:

1. a polygon with five sides
2. a polygon with six sides
3. a polygon with eight congruent sides

given the following table, write equations of the lines described.

1. the line that contains all of the points in the table

x | y
-2 | 5
-1 | 2
0 | -1
1 | -4
2 | -7

1. the line that is parallel to the line given by the table, but has a y-intercept at the point (0, 6).
2. the line that is perpendicular to the line given by the table, that has a y-intercept at the point (0, 6).

Explanation:

Question 1

A polygon with five sides is defined as a pentagon. By the definition of a pentagon in geometry, it is a closed figure with five straight sides.

A polygon with six sides is known as a hexagon. The term "hexagon" comes from the Greek words "hex" (meaning six) and "gon" (meaning angle or corner), referring to a six - sided closed figure.

A polygon with eight congruent (equal - length) sides is an octagon. An octagon is a polygon with eight sides, and when the sides are congruent, it is a regular octagon (though the problem just states eight congruent sides, the general name for an eight - sided polygon is octagon).

Answer:

Pentagon
