                     DRAWING POLYGONS IN SCRATCH

                     Polygons are 2D shapes with three or more straight lines and angles. Examples of polygons
                     are triangle, square, rectangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, octagon, etc.

                     To draw polygons in Scratch, you must remember a few thumb rules. They are:

                        Number of sides in the shape

                        This is the value to be given in repeat block. For example, you give Repeat 3 to draw a
                       triangle and 4 to draw a square.

                                                                                           Creating Shapes in Scratch  101
