Answer:
Paul drew a triangle and a quadrilateral
Step-by-step explanation:
* At first lets revise the definition of a polygon
- A polygon is a 2-dimensional figure formed with at least
3 straight sides
- Examples:
* Triangles are polygons with 3 sides
* Quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides
Trapezoid , parallelogram , rectangle , rhombus , square , kite
* Pentagons are polygons with 5 sides
* Hexagons are polygons with 6 sides
- Now lets solve the problem
∵ Paul drew a polygon with 4 sides
∵ The quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides
∴ He drew a quadrilateral
∴ He could draw one of these shapes:
Trapezoid OR parallelogram OR rectangle OR rhombus OR square
OR kite
∵ Paul drew a polygon which has fewer than 4 sides
∵ The least number of the sides of the polygon is 3
∴ He drew a polygon with 3 sides
∵ Triangle is a polygon with 3 sides
∴ He drew a triangle
* Paul drew a triangle and a quadrilateral
