Question 3. Draw a rough sketch of a regular hexagon. Connecting any three of its vertices, draw a triangle. Identify the type of the triangle you have drawn.
Answer: ABCDEF is a regular hexagon and triangle thus formed by joining AEF is an isosceles triangle.
Answer: ABCDEF is a regular hexagon and triangle thus formed by joining AEF is an isosceles triangle.
Question 4.Draw a rough sketch of a regular octagon. (Use squared paper if you wish). Draw a rectangle by joining exactly four of the vertices of the octagon.
