The shapes that we see are made up of lines (line segments) and points (vertices). These line segments join each other at vertices to form a shape. These line segments are called sides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The definition of a side in geometry is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/line-segment\">line segment<\/a> that joins two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/vertex\">vertices<\/a> in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/shape\">shape<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/2-dimensional\">two-dimensional<\/a> figure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In other words, a side in math is the line that connects two points of a shape. The shape here means a two-dimensional (flat) shape like a rectangle, a square, or a triangle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, for instance, the rectangle has four sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/four-sides-of-a-rectangle.png\" alt=\"Four Sides of a Rectangle\" class=\"wp-image-40569\" title=\"Four Sides of a Rectangle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/four-sides-of-a-rectangle.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/four-sides-of-a-rectangle-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Sides in 2-D Shapes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A polygon is a closed shape that is made up of three or more line segments.
