What shape has eight sides and eight angles?

• A. Octagon
• B. Pentagon
• C. Hexagon
• D. Quadrilateral

Answer: (A)

A shape with eight sides and eight angles is called an octagon. The prefix “octo-” means eight, and “-gon” means angle or corner, so a polygon with eight sides naturally has eight angles. The other shapes have fewer sides: a pentagon has five, a hexagon has six, and a quadrilateral has four, so they don’t match eight.
