Which is NOT a characteristic of all polygons? Each line segment intersects only two others. It is a closed figure. Its line segments cross. The segments touch only at the endpoints.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

I would say C

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

Explain Cameron.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Its line segments dont cross? lol

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

Draw me a picture :).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O_O woah woah she explained enough i understand it

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Actually thts wrong

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

You cant rely on an answer like that why don't eliminate answers 1 by 1.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Theres a concave polygon that has its line segments that cross

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Well if you go that way the first thing you can eliminate is B, We all know that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes....

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

And C we already covered that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we are stuck between A and D

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

See?

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

It seems so that a polygons line segments do not cross. So that's your answer

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

I just notices its saying which is NOT!

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Well going on Heres an example of A polygon with lines that do not touch the endpoints

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

And in the conclave figure more than one line segment touches more than 2 line segments

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

So im stumped on this one :/

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Juan lol

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

Line segments\(\huge \sf \rlap{\color{red}{NEVER~CROSS}}{\;\ \color{pink}{NEVER~CROSS}}\) >_>.
