Question

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are shown below.

M(–1, 3), N(–4, 0), O(–1, –3), P(3, –3), Q(4, 0), R(3, 3)

What type of polygon is this figure?
heptagon
hexagon
octagon
quadrilateral

Answer 1

Answer:

Hexagon

Step-by-step explanation:

if you plot all the points and connect the lines then you get a six-sided shape which is a hexagon

Answer 2

Answer:

Hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we don't need to graph it.

If you think this through, you will find that each pair of two points represents one side of the polygon.

So, based on the given information, the sides of the polygon are:

MN, NO, OP, PQ, QR and RM.

As you can observe, there are 6 sides in total. So, a polygon with six sides is called Hexagon.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.
