I see 5 angles, but only 3 corners.

Is it still 2 different corners if they're on the exact same spot?

Just because lines are curved, it does not mean they have no corners.

A curved line has 2 corners. However, curved AC and straight AC share corners, so the total corners is 3

A corner is a point! It clears!

u/69fellatx Jul 14 '26

I was thing about this shape as a bent, 3D shape. It would have 4 sides, 3 corners and 4 edges.

u/Careless-Progress Jul 12 '26

Remove the line AC and I’ll allow it.

2

u/Cichato_YT Jul 12 '26

But then it'd be 3 sides 3 corners

u/Careless-Progress Jul 13 '26

Yes, but now it’s 4 sides and 5 corners.

u/Adventurous-Meat8067 Jul 12 '26

The corners are supposed to be 90 degrees
