A two-dimensional shape is a shape that has length and width but no depth. In mathematics, shapes (mathematical models) are derived from objects in the real world that have common geometric attributes. A circle is one example of a two-dimensional shape. A rectangle is another example of a two-dimensional shape.

What is a 2 dimensional shape?

2-dimensional (2D) shapes have only two dimensions, length and width . They can be drawn on a piece of paper. A polygon is a 2-D shape with straight sides that meet up with no gaps.

Is a shape a 2 dimensional object?

In geometry, a shape or a figure that has a length and a breadth is a 2D shape. In other words, a plane object that has only length and breadth is 2 dimensional. Straight or curved lines make up the sides of this shape.
