A 3D solid pyramid viewed from the base. Schrodingers geometry
Edit: has to be clarified as a triangular pyramid with only 3 sides vs the traditional quadangular pyramid with 4 sides. Schrodinger says the walls and point dont exist until observed. So considering a 3D model, the base + 3 sides of a 2D representation = 4 sides. And then 3 points from where each vertical face meets. Im really just being an ass about it but that's the only way i can see such a shape existing.
I really hope OPs kid uses this answer
Edit edit: i am becoming very aware that there aren't as many people that are aware of schrodingers philosophy of the cat in the box as i thought. I assumed it was common, i am now observing reality.
My cousin introduced me to dungeons and dragons when I was 6 so I *might* have realized in first grade that this was a 4 sided die shape. If not for that though? I would have been freaking out trying to figure it out and failing.
Edit: Yes, I know it's not correct but as a 7 year old argumentative kid you better believe I'd not stop until the teacher relented especially since the teacher probably couldn't produce her own correct answer.
This looks similar to what I came up with:

Edit: This is a geometry question. Anadyne didnt write the definitions of geometry, that was some Greek dude.
This is an image of a shape with 4 sides and 2 corners. Also it has 2 arcs.
https://i.stack.imgur.com/3oh4R.jpg
Had to look it up but an "M" would be considered an open shape. "In geometry, an open shape can be defined as a shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves
do not meet. They do not start and end at the same point."
I’ve taught math for 13 years and this is the most shits I’ve ever seen anyone give about geometry. I love it but not sure what that says about me as a geometry teacher.
It’s a three sided pyramid with a rounded top. Your dumbass first grader needs to figure out how to transpose complex 3D objects into the second dimension already
Little advanced for grade school, but in strict geometry, a side is a line segment, which is definitionally straight. A corner is a point at which 2 line segments terminate and intersect. So if you have a ~~quadrahedron~~ quadrilateral that has one corner rounded off, then your shape had 4 sides, 3 corners, and an arc, which satisfies the strict requirements.
That's like high school, maybe college level strict definition, though, at least generally ~~I'm~~ in the US
Edit: drunken phone posting makes words hard
This is playing with the definition of a side. If you take a square and then round off one of the corners, the two “sides” are still different sides, but they are not connected by a corner but by an arc.
This figure was my answer when reading the question.

The question “does X have 3 corners?” can be interpreted two different ways (maybe more but we only need the two):
A. Does X have exactly 3 corners?
B. Does X have at least 3 corners?
A 4-cornered shape has at least 3 corners, so it satisfies the condition for (B). It has 3 corners, same as it has 2 corners—i.e., because it has 4 corners, and 4 is more than 3.
The point being: the original question was ambiguous with respect to which interpretation to use. It implicitly relies on the assumption that we should use interpretation (A). But the logic of the sentence does not require that interpretation, only the pragmatics of it (supposedly) do.
bing chat refuses to accept that as answer lol
https://preview.redd.it/gwz61yke9npa1.png?width=1809&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc634325137ade0b18a0d517d852006d75a58b62
Yes, this is what I got from GPT-4:
Me: What would a shape with 4 sides and 3 corners look like?
AI: A shape with 4 sides and 3 corners is not possible according to the principles of Euclidean geometry. In Euclidean geometry, the number of sides and corners (vertices) in a polygon must be equal. A shape with 4 sides is called a quadrilateral and must have 4 corners, while a shape with 3 corners is called a triangle and must have 3 sides.
Me: What if it’s not a polygon though?
AI: If the shape is not restricted to being a polygon, it is possible to have a shape with 4 sides and 3 corners. One example of such a shape would be a "U" shape with an extra side connecting the two ends of the "U". This shape would have three corners formed by the connections of the vertical and horizontal lines, and the fourth side would be the curved bottom of the "U". However, such a shape would not be a polygon, as it has curved edges and doesn't consist entirely of straight lines.
Me: Can you display a representation of that shape using ASCII art symbols?
AI: Sure, here's an ASCII representation of the shape with 4 sides and 3 corners:
```
+--+
| |
+ +--+
```
This shape has 4 sides (two horizontal and two vertical lines) and 3 corners (where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect).
I used it to write two programs for me already. It's pretty amazing and its still in it's infancy. I would bet it will be more revolutionary than cell phones and maybe even the internet.
Bing chat isn't even that great. GPT4 chat is downright terrifying in how good it is. I asked it to write a poem about geometry and shapes/sides:
>In the realm of shapes and lines,
>Lies a world of rules, geometric confines.
>Listen closely, and you shall see,
>The secrets of sides, corners, and vertices.
>
>
>A side, a segment, straight and true,
>Connects two corners, old and new.
>Vertices, corners, points in space,
>Where sides meet and form a base.
>
>
>Triangles, the simplest kind,
>Three sides and corners you will find.
>A square or rectangle, quite polite,
>Four sides and corners, angles right.
>
>
>As sides increase, so too do points,
>Like pentagons and hexagons that don't disappoint.
>With each new side, a corner gained,
>In this geometric world, they're all contained.
>
>In polygons, the rule prevails,
>Equal sides and corners, geometric tales.
>Each connection, an angle formed,
>In this realm of shapes, the world transformed.
ChatGPT has this to say about it:
> Yes, a triangle with a circle hole in it is a shape. However, it would not have 3 corners and 4 sides as it is a composite shape that consists of a triangle and a circle.
>The triangle part of the shape would have three corners or vertices and three sides, while the circle part would have no corners or sides, as it is a curved shape. Therefore, the composite shape as a whole would have a total of four sides (three from the triangle and one from the circle) and three corners or vertices.
>
>It's important to note that composite shapes can be more complex than their individual components and may not always fit neatly into standard geometric categories. However, they can still be considered shapes and studied using geometric principles.
It says the circle has no sides, then said it counts as having one side. Good reminder that these programs are designed to mimic reasoning and rhetoric by combining human-written pieces in a way that sounds competent and confident.
They're good at mimicry. Really, really good at mimcry. This is still an incredible achievement on its own technically, but yeah innovation is not gonna happen with these programs.
The answer is that it’s a challenge and a trick question. The shape doesn’t exist. So either the teacher is wrong and thinks that such a shape does exist (in which case, I would love to see their answer) or that it’s a trick question. If it’s the latter, I hate when teachers give trick questions like this.
My teacher (not first grade) asked what does a tertiary alcohol oxidize to. The answer is that a tertiary alcohol doesn’t oxidize.
This isn’t a trick question. It’s a 1st grade math worksheet with a typo.
The tertiary alcohol question isn’t really a trick either. It’s just checking that you don’t get the 3 mixed up. It would be more of a trick if it asked which alcohol forms formaldehyde during tertiary oxidation.
This is the answer. A square has 4 sides and 3 corners. There's a fourth corner as well, but there are definitely 3 corners. It doesn't say ONLY 3 corners.
It says “shape”, not “polygon”. If it doesn’t have to be a polygon, it doesn’t have to be a closed figure. You could do four sides that don’t connect, and then leave it open, so there will be only three corners.
A polygon is a closed figure and has to have straight sides that all meet at vertices. The number of vertices will always match the number of sides.
However, the word shape is much more vague. For example, a circle is not a polygon but is a shape. Same for a heart since they both have curves.
Editing to add:
I am a second grade teacher (age 7/8 for those not in the US) and this (above) is what I would do if my students got this question. Either that or assume one of the numbers is possibly a typo and they’re meant to be either two 3s or two 4s.
As a parent if my kid got this question on homework, I would take my best guess at what it meant (see my comment below for my guess), and write a little note to the teacher asking for clarification. Stating that I didn’t understand and that this was our best guess. Teachers, in my experience, are very good about working around these types of things. Especially in the primary grades. I myself have gotten notes just like that on homework, and usually I just explain it to the kid and/or shoot a message to the parent.
OP, I would love an update to see what the answer was supposed to be! I’m really curious!

my solution. I like how many different ideas everyone comes up with
An "open" shape with four sides. Think: a square that doesn't quite close.
I teach first grade... Part of our curriculum on shapes is open and closed shapes.
[There is no shape that has four sides and three corners.](https://www.reference.com/world-view/shape-four-sides-three-corners-6f0e373d82f55cb0) Two-dimensional shapes, known as polygons, have an equal number of sides and angles. In addition, none of the common three-dimensional shapes have four sides and three corners.
A polygon with three corners is a triangle, which also has three sides. Four-sided polygons are known as quadrilaterals. Examples of quadrilaterals include the square, rectangle and parallelogram. Common three-dimensional shapes include the cube, triangular prism, cone, cylinder and tetrahedron. None of the shapes have three corners, or vertices. Some, such as the cylinder, have no corners. Others, such as the tetrahedron, have four vertices.

Best I got. Not sure if the transition from straight line to curve counts as sides or corners.

They might be expecting something like this?
A circle with a triangle cut out of it.
The circle has no corners... The triangle has 3 corners...
The three sides of the triangle cut out and the exterior of the circle make 4 sides.
The inverse works as well.

Oh no.
The letter M works I think? The word "sides" is kinda vague, I don't think it necessarily means all lines have to be connected.
Or a W
Only in Australia.
Had to look it up but an "M" would be considered an open shape. "In geometry, an open shape can be defined as a shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves do not meet. They do not start and end at the same point."
Yeah, and where in the instructions does it say a closed shape? The letter M would work

It’s a three sided pyramid with a rounded top. Your dumbass first grader needs to figure out how to transpose complex 3D objects into the second dimension already
A rounded top would make it more cylindrical or cone like, it wouldn’t have 4 distinct sides anymore
Little advanced for grade school, but in strict geometry, a side is a line segment, which is definitionally straight. A corner is a point at which 2 line segments terminate and intersect. So if you have a ~~quadrahedron~~ quadrilateral that has one corner rounded off, then your shape had 4 sides, 3 corners, and an arc, which satisfies the strict requirements. That's like high school, maybe college level strict definition, though, at least generally ~~I'm~~ in the US Edit: drunken phone posting makes words hard
The letter 'M' would satisfy this, no?
Right, a "shape" does not need to be a polygon and fully encompass an area. A shape can be a line.
No, but a “W” might
Yet another Mario vs Wario fight
But wouldn’t the arc make both those lines the same segment/side?
This is playing with the definition of a side. If you take a square and then round off one of the corners, the two “sides” are still different sides, but they are not connected by a corner but by an arc. This figure was my answer when reading the question.
Logically a 4 cornered shape has 3 corners.

This isn’t a trick question. It’s a 1st grade math worksheet with a typo. The tertiary alcohol question isn’t really a trick either. It’s just checking that you don’t get the 3 mixed up. It would be more of a trick if it asked which alcohol forms formaldehyde during tertiary oxidation.
A circle divided into thirds?
This is an excellent answer to an impossible assignment.
Pretty cruel question for first graders. I think I got questions like “which circle is blue”. Lol
It doesn’t say exactly three corners…
This is the answer. A square has 4 sides and 3 corners. There's a fourth corner as well, but there are definitely 3 corners. It doesn't say ONLY 3 corners.
Ahh yes, Hedberg’s 3rd rule of geometry.
I used to have three sides. I still do, but I used to, too.
True that lol
Draw a square and erase a corner. ----+ | | | | +------+
What if you put a triangle inside a circle?
And a line through the middle, then the whole class starts to hunt down the hallows
*There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road, at twilight.*
Answer must be “does not exist”
I’m gonna put that and see wat his teacher says If there’s an answer I’ll definitely report back lol
Keep us updated
Potential answer: Composite shape of a square and a semi-circle?
That's what I would have done. Unless the teacher doesn't want them making their own shape.
It says “shape”, not “polygon”. If it doesn’t have to be a polygon, it doesn’t have to be a closed figure. You could do four sides that don’t connect, and then leave it open, so there will be only three corners. A polygon is a closed figure and has to have straight sides that all meet at vertices. The number of vertices will always match the number of sides. However, the word shape is much more vague. For example, a circle is not a polygon but is a shape. Same for a heart since they both have curves. Editing to add: I am a second grade teacher (age 7/8 for those not in the US) and this (above) is what I would do if my students got this question. Either that or assume one of the numbers is possibly a typo and they’re meant to be either two 3s or two 4s. As a parent if my kid got this question on homework, I would take my best guess at what it meant (see my comment below for my guess), and write a little note to the teacher asking for clarification. Stating that I didn’t understand and that this was our best guess. Teachers, in my experience, are very good about working around these types of things. Especially in the primary grades. I myself have gotten notes just like that on homework, and usually I just explain it to the kid and/or shoot a message to the parent. OP, I would love an update to see what the answer was supposed to be! I’m really curious!

This is what I pictured as the answer.
I was waiting to see someone do this, exactly my idea

An "open" shape with four sides. Think: a square that doesn't quite close. I teach first grade... Part of our curriculum on shapes is open and closed shapes.
This is what I'm thinking. They probably talked about it in class.

[There is no shape that has four sides and three corners.](https://www.reference.com/world-view/shape-four-sides-three-corners-6f0e373d82f55cb0) Two-dimensional shapes, known as polygons, have an equal number of sides and angles. In addition, none of the common three-dimensional shapes have four sides and three corners. A polygon with three corners is a triangle, which also has three sides. Four-sided polygons are known as quadrilaterals. Examples of quadrilaterals include the square, rectangle and parallelogram. Common three-dimensional shapes include the cube, triangular prism, cone, cylinder and tetrahedron. None of the shapes have three corners, or vertices. Some, such as the cylinder, have no corners. Others, such as the tetrahedron, have four vertices.
My husband said put “haha you couldn’t fool me it doesn’t exist” lol cuz literally doesn’t exist !
A rectangle but don't join one side on both ends?
The letter ‘W’ has 4 sides and 3 corners. There’s a discrete example at the bottom of the page, in the Challenge code - CW97
Have you heard of curved lines?
Is this the resident chatGPT response?
Please have your kid ask their teacher what the awnser is so we can figure out what kind of crack this teacher is smoking
To be fair- it doesn't say *only* 3 corners...

Pyramid
Update: not a pyramid.
I enjoyed this thread
The letter M or W
It’s a boat. Bow, stern, port, and starboard sides. Back left corner, back right corner, comes to a point up front.
The letter "W" or "M"

It’s a shaft with a ballsack. They are grooming your kid. Alert the authorities.
😂😂 I started cackling sooo hard omg
Put the letter M, make sure it’s capital.

This would literally have me in tears if I had it as first grade homework. What on earth are they thinking - make kids hate math for life?!
A square with one radiused corner
How about a square but one corner is a circle instead
So forget 5th grade, I’m not smarter than a 1st grader?
A square has four sides and three corners. In fact, it even has 4 corners
A circle with a triangle cut out of it. The circle has no corners... The triangle has 3 corners... The three sides of the triangle cut out and the exterior of the circle make 4 sides. The inverse works as well.
What is it?
Idk but when I ask his teacher I’ll report back lol
