Hi,
An iregular shape is when you get a shape & you don't see it as you usually do. Like a hexigon, imagian that, now to get an irregular hexigon you draw a shape with 6 sides.
I hope that helps

A regular shape is one where all of the sides are the same length.
An irregular shape is a shape where not all of the sides equal the same length.
For example, you know what a regular hexagon looks like? 6 sides, all the same length.
An irregular hexagon would be one where there are still 6 sides, but not all of the sides are the same length.

Hope this helped,
