TMN3704 ASSIGNMENT 3 2026
DUE 8 JULY 2026
ACTIVITY 1
1.1 Define the concept of 2D shapes.
A two-dimensional (2D) shape is a flat geometric figure that has only two dimensions
length and width and lies completely in a single plane. Unlike three-dimensional objects,
2D shapes have no thickness or depth and are defined by their boundaries, which
consist of straight or curved sides
(Department of Basic Education [DBE], 2011a, p. 26).
1.2 Identify and explain any two key concepts from the definition of 2D shapes
given in (1.1). (4)
Key Concept 1: Dimensions (Length and Width)
Dimensions refer to the measurable extents that define a shape. Two-dimensional
shapes possess only two dimensions, length (how long the shape is) and width (how
wide the shape is). This distinguishes 2D shapes from 3D objects, which have a third
dimension, depth or height. For example, a rectangle drawn on paper has length and
width but no physical thickness
(TMN3704 Study Guide, 2024, p. 32).
