Corners theorem

Imagine you have a piece of string that you can fold into any shape you want. Now, let's say you want to know how many corners that shape has. Corners theorem tells you that no matter how you fold the string, the number of corners in the shape will always be the same.

Think of it like counting how many corners a house has. Even if the house looks different from the outside, it will always have the same number of corners on the inside.

And just like how you can use math to figure out how many corners a house has, corners theorem uses math to figure out how many corners any shape has. This is useful for lots of things, like calculating the perimeter of a piece of land or the surface area of an object.
