See a solution process below:
Explanation:
A square is an object with 4 equal sides and the sides are at right angles to each other.
If we cut off one corner, there are now 5 sides. However, all of the sides are not the same length.
Therefore this is a 5 sided polygon with different length sides.
A 5 sided polygon is called a pentagon
When all of the lengths of the sides of a polygon are not equal it is call irregular
The shape that is left after cutting off a corner from a square is an:
irregular pentagon
