Sorry if this seems elementary but what shapes are the opposite of polygons (closed by line segments) and what do you call them? Sorry if my question is phrased weird.

A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides and angles. It must have at least three sides and each side must intersect with the other two sides only at their endpoints.
The opposite of a polygon is an open shape. Unlike a polygon, it does not have straight sides or angles and may have any number of sides.
Some examples of open shapes include circles, ellipses, curves, and spirals.
Yes, open shapes have names depending on their properties and characteristics. For example, a shape with two parallel sides and two curved sides is called a parallelogram.
Yes, open shapes can be classified into different groups based on their properties and characteristics. Some common groups include circles, ellipses, curves, and spirals.
