2D Shapes
2D shapes are plane figures that can be drawn on a flat surface.
Different 2D Shapes
1. Circles
2. Triangles
3. Quadrilaterals
Circle
A circle is a closed, two-dimensional shape that is made up of a curved line. The angle of a
complete circle is 360°.
Triangle
A triangle is a closed shape with 3 angles, 3 sides, and 3 vertices. The sum of all angles of a triangle
is 180°.
