Which best describes a triangle?

  1. A four-sided polygon

  2. A shape with right angles

  3. A three-sided polygon

  4. A shape with all sides parallel

The correct answer is: A three-sided polygon

Triangle is a type of polygon that has three sides and three angles. A A four-sided polygon is actually the definition of a quadrilateral, not a triangle. B: A shape with right angles could be a square or rectangle, but not all triangles have right angles. D: A shape with all sides parallel is a parallelogram, not a triangle. So the best description for a triangle is a three-sided polygon.
