IKMC 2027 - Grades 5-6 - Self-study SET 10 - Thematic Batch 3 Question 12

Tony can remove a right-angled corner of a square card with one straight cut, as shown. He makes three cuts, each removing one of the square’s original corners. How many sides does the resulting polygon have?



Diagram convention: the three original corners are trimmed separately; cuts do not erase earlier cut edges or entire original sides.
