Describe one way to categorize the polygons.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a method to categorize polygons, which are flat shapes with straight sides. A possible approach could be based on the number of sides each polygon has, differentiating them into categories like triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc.
Answer

Answer for screen readers
One way to categorize polygons is based on the number of sides and vertices.
More Information
Polygons are typically named according to their number of sides, such as triangles (3 sides), quadrilaterals (4 sides), pentagons (5 sides), and so on. Polygons with more than 12 sides are usually referred to by their numerical name (e.g., a 17-sided polygon is a heptadecagon).
Tips
When categorizing polygons by the number of sides, ensure each side is counted only once and all sides are straight lines.
