Two-dimensional Shapes (2 D) • These shapes are flat and can only be drawn

Two-dimensional Shapes (2 D) • These shapes are flat and can only be drawn on paper. • They have two dimensions – length and width. • They are sometimes called plane shapes.

Polygons Two-dimensional shapes that have sides made from straight lines. • E. g. triangles
