I am a closed figure formed by 6 segments.
I have 2 angles less than a right angle and no right angles. What am I?
i do not know
A six-sided figure is called a hexagon, isn't it?

you are a hexagon.six sides? six -hex. remember that.
To determine the closed figure described, we need to understand the properties of angles in geometric shapes.
A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees. Since the figure has no right angles, it means that none of the angles in the figure measure 90 degrees.
Let's assume the figure has "n" angles. The sum of the interior angles in any closed figure can be calculated using the formula: (n - 2) * 180 degrees.
Since the figure has 6 segments, we can determine the number of angles it has by using the formula: n = 2 + (6 - 1), which simplifies to n = 7.
Now, let's analyze the given information. The figure has 2 angles that are less than a right angle. A right angle measures 90 degrees, so any angle less than this value is less than a right angle. This eliminates the possibility of the figure being a triangle, as a triangle has three angles, and two of them must be right angles or more.
We can also eliminate a quadrilateral (4 sides) from the possibilities because it only has 4 angles.
A pentagon (5 sides) and hexagon (6 sides) also have fewer than 7 angles, so they are not the correct answer.
Therefore, the only figure left is a heptagon, which is a closed figure with 7 sides and 7 angles. Since the heptagon has 7 angles and two of them are less than a right angle, it satisfies all the given conditions.
So, the closed figure described, formed by 6 segments, with 2 angles less than a right angle and no right angles, is a heptagon.
