Count the number of sides and angles of a polygon that has more sides than angles.
This choice provides a critique of Jill's reasoning by suggesting to consider polygons where the number of sides is not equal to the number of angles. By doing so, it highlights that Jill's statement may not hold true for all polygons.
Jill said that the polygons shown have the same number of angles as they have sides. Select the correct choice to critique Jill's reasoning.

Explain whether Jill's reasoning makes sense. (1 point) Jill's reasoning Choose make sense. There Choose the same number of angles as there are sides of a polygon.
Jill's reasoning does not make sense. While regular polygons do have the same number of angles as sides, this is not necessarily true for all polygons. In general, the number of angles in a polygon is always equal to the number of sides, but this may not always be the case for irregular polygons. Therefore, Jill's statement is not accurate for all polygons.
