Question

Assertion: A triangle is not a polygon.

Reason: A closed plane figure bounded by three or more line segments is called a polygon.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is the incorrect reason for A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

Assertion (A): A polygon is a closed plane figure with a minimum of three line segments. Since a triangle is a closed figure with three straight sides, it fits the definition of a polygon.

Reason (R): Accurately defines a polygon. The definition specifies that a polygon must be a closed figure made of straight-line segments, with a minimum of three sides.
