Have you ever thought about their shapes? Why and how does each object have a different shape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Pick any object near you and closely observe its structure. Start from any one point on the object and see if you can trace its boundary completely and come back to the same point from where you started. This is how we identify closed and open shapes. Let\u2019s look at some examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This is a mosquito coil.
