Which figure does not begin and end at the same point?
- A.
Sphere
- B.
Solid Mass
- C.
Open Figure
- D.
Triangle
Correct Answer
C. Open FigureExplanation
An open figure is a geometric shape that does not form a closed loop. It has distinct starting and ending points, unlike a closed figure which connects back to its starting point. A sphere is a closed figure as it forms a continuous loop, starting and ending at the same point. A solid mass is not a figure at all, but rather a three-dimensional object. A triangle is a closed figure as it forms a closed loop with three sides. Therefore, the figure that does not begin and end at the same point is the open figure.Rate this question:
