Characteristics and Characteristics of Flat Shapes – What Sinaumed’s will come to your mind when you hear about flat shapes? Yes, of course it will be related to one of the subjects at school, namely mathematics.
A flat shape is a two-dimensional shape of figures that has a flat surface in terms of area, length, width, and circumference.
Then, what shapes are included in flat shapes, right Sinaumed’s? There are various kinds of flat shapes, including squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, kites, trapezoids, pentagons or pentagons, and hexagons or hexagons.
You can also read one of the following book recommendations if you want to know more about flat shapes that you don’t know yet.
In this article, we will discuss some of the characteristics and properties of flat shapes that were previously mentioned. Therefore, let’s refer to the article below.
The following are some of the characteristics and properties of flat wakes, including the following.
1. Square
