Shapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Look at the given skipping rope. Do the ends of the rope meet? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-3.png\" alt=\"Skipping rope as open shape\" class=\"wp-image-8349\" title=\"Skipping rope as open shape\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-3.png 619w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-3-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, the ends don\u2019t meet. This means the starting and the ending point of the rope are different. So, it is an open shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Also, observe that, since their ends do not meet, open shapes do not have a fixed area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us try something exciting. Let\u2019s drop a bunch of stones over the skipping rope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-4.png\" alt=\"Some stones on skipping rope as open shape\" class=\"wp-image-8348\" title=\"Some stones on skipping rope as open shape\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-4.png 619w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-4-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Is stone A lying inside the rope, on it, or outside it? It is lying on the skipping rope. Similarly, stone E is also lying on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Now, stone B is not lying on the rope. So, is it lying inside it or outside it? We cannot say! Since the jumping rope does not have a fixed area, we cannot say whether stone B is lying inside or outside. Similarly, we cannot say whether stones C and D are lying inside or outside the shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, since the ends of an open shape do not meet, it does not have well-defined interior and exterior regions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-open-and-closed-shapes\">Open And Closed Shapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Look at the figures below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-5.png\" alt=\"Closed and open shape\" class=\"wp-image-8347\" title=\"Closed and open shape\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-5.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-5-300x152.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In figure A, there are no open ends. That is, it has the same starting and ending points. Therefore, it is a closed shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, starting points and ending points are different in figure B. Therefore, it is an open shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us note a few more differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-6.png\" alt=\"Difference between open shapes and closed shapes\" class=\"wp-image-8346\" title=\"Difference between open shapes and closed shapes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-6.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Open-shape-6-300x268.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s Revise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">To sum up, there are two types of shapes: open and closed shapes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Open shapes are figures or shapes that have different starting and ending points. Their ends are open, i.e., do not meet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Since they have open ends, these shapes do not have a fixed area. Also, they do not have a well-defined interior and exterior region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1: Give some examples of open-shaped letters of the English alphabet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: Some open-shaped letters of the English alphabet are C, M, U, W, N, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2: Is a semicircle an open shape or a closed shape?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Semicircle is an open shape as it has different starting and ending point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"166\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Example-1.png\" alt=\"Open semicircle\" class=\"wp-image-8344\" title=\"Open semicircle\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.
