What are concentric polygons?

Concentric polygons are shapes that all share the same center, like nesting dolls or stacked plates.

Imagine you have a round plate in your kitchen. Now, imagine drawing a triangle around it so that both the triangle and the plate touch the middle point, that's their center. Then you draw another square around them, also touching that same middle point. These shapes, the triangle, the square, and the plate, are all concentric polygons because they're like friends who all live at the same address: the center.

Think of concentric polygons as layers in a tasty onion. Each layer is a different shape, maybe one is a pentagon, another a hexagon, but they all share the same center, just like how each layer of onion wraps around the middle part. You can keep adding more shapes, bigger or smaller, and they’ll still be concentric as long as they all meet at that one special spot.

If you look closely, you might even find them in a pizza! Each slice starts from the middle, that’s the center, and goes outwards like layers of an onion.
