Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Recall shapes with 4 vertices

A quadrilateral (like a square, rectangle, trapezoid, etc.) has 4 vertices. For example, a square has 4 vertices (corners).

Step2: Name the shape

A common shape with 4 vertices is a quadrilateral (specific examples: square, rectangle, parallelogram, etc. A simple one to draw is a rectangle: 4 straight sides, 4 vertices). So the shape can be called a quadrilateral (or a specific type like square, rectangle, etc.).

Step1: Recall polygon definition

A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides. The given shape (arrow - like) is closed and has straight sides.

Step2: Determine if polygon

Since it's a closed figure with straight sides, it is a polygon.

Step1: Identify the shape

The shape is a star - like figure, specifically a pentagram (but in basic terms, a star polygon, or more simply, a star - shaped polygon. The specific name here is a pentagram, but also called a star (or more formally, a regular star polygon, but for basic naming, "star" or "pentagram" can be used).

Step2: Count sides

A pentagram has 10 sides? Wait, no - wait, the star (pentagram) is formed by a 5 - pointed star, and the number of sides: each point has 2 sides, so 5×2 = 10? Wait, no, actually, when considering the star as a polygon, the pentagram is a decagon? No, wait, no. Wait, the basic star (pentagram) is a 10 - sided polygon? Wait, no, let's count the edges. The star has 5 outer edges and 5 inner edges? No, no. Wait, the figure shown is a 5 - pointed star, which is a pentagram. The number of sides: when you trace the star, you go through 10 line segments? Wait, no, actually, the pentagram is a non - convex polygon with 10 sides? Wait, no, maybe I'm overcomplicating. Wait, the star (pentagram) has 10 sides? No, let's count: each of the 5 points has 2 sides, so 5×2 = 10. Wait, no, the number of vertices: a pentagram has 5 vertices (the points) and 5 inner vertices? No, no. Wait, the given star - shaped figure: let's count the sides. If we look at the star, the number of sides: when you draw the star, you make 10 line segments? Wait, no, maybe the question is simpler. The shape is a star, and the number of sides: 10? Wait, no, the pentagram (5 - pointed star) has 10 sides? Wait, no, actually, the pentagram is a 10 - sided polygon? Wait, no, let's check: a regular pentagram is a decagon? No, a decagon has 10 sides. Wait, the pentagram is formed by a 5 - sided polygon (pentagon) with lines drawn between non - adjacent vertices. But for the basic count:

• Name the shape: Star (or pentagram)
• Number of sides: 10 (wait, no, maybe 5? No, no. Wait, no, when you look at the star, each "point" has two sides, so 5 points × 2 sides = 10 sides.
• Number of vertices: 10? No, the points are 5 vertices, and the inner intersections? No, the figure shown is a simple star, so the vertices are the 5 points and the 5 inner corners? No, the given star - like figure: let's count the vertices. The 5 points are vertices, and the 5 inner "corners" are also vertices? Wait, no, the figure is a closed shape. Let's count the vertices: the star has 10 vertices? No, maybe the question is using a simpler approach. Wait, the star (pentagram) has 5 vertices (the points) and 5 more? No, I think I made a mistake. Wait, the correct count for a pentagram (5 - pointed star):
• Name: Pentagram (or Star)
• Number of sides: 10 (each of the 5 points has 2 sides, so 5×2 = 10)
• Number of vertices: 10 (the 5 points and the 5 inner intersections)
• Number of right angles: 0 (since the angles in the star are not right angles, they are acute or obtuse)

Wait, but maybe the question is simpler. Let's re - evaluate:

• Name the shape: Star (or Pentagram)
• Number of sides: 10 (if we count each line segment)
• Number of vertices: 10 (the 10 corners)
• Number of right angles: 0 (no right angles in a star)

But maybe the question considers the star as having 5 sides? No, that's incorrect. Wait, no, the star is a 10 - sided polygon (decagon) in terms of the number of sides when traced. But maybe for basic level, the name is "Star", number of sides: 10, number of vertices: 10, number of right angles: 0.

Answer:

Quadrilateral (or specific like square, rectangle, etc. - a shape with 4 vertices, e.g., draw a rectangle with 4 vertices)
