Types of 2D shapes ?
There are 2 types of 2D shapes : 1. polygon 2. non-polygon

Polygons are 2D shapes with only

straight sides. 2D shapes which have curved side are called non-polygons.

What are polygons?

Polygons are 2D shapes with only straight sides. Examples :
Straight lines

What are polygons?

Shapes with curve sides are not polygons. Examples :
Curve sides
