An oval is a closed curve in a plane which "loosely" resembles the outline of an egg. The term is not very specific, but in some areas it is given a more precise definition, which may include either one or two axes of symmetry. In common English, the term is used in a broader sense: any shape which reminds one of an egg.

In geometry, a star polygon (not to be confused with a star-shaped polygon) is a concave polygon. Only the regular star polygons have been studied in any depth; star polygons in general appear not to have been formally defined.

central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the
point.

A kite is a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flying kites, which often have this shape and which are in turn named for a bird.
BACK
A triangle is a polygon with three edges an
d three vertices. It is one of the
basic shapes in geometry.
