Beyond the Answer
The polygon \( S T U V \) is a quadrilateral since it has four sides. Given that all sides are equal (\( S T = T U = U V = V S = 12 \)), this indicates that it's not just any quadrilateral but a special type known as a rhombus! Since the angles \( m \angle S = m \angle U \) and \( m \angle T = m \angle V \), it confirms the symmetrical properties of a rhombus, but without further information on the angles being right angles, it can't be established as a square. Another fun fact is that a rhombus is essentially a "superhero" version of a parallelogram. While all rhombuses (like our polygon) are parallelograms due to their opposite sides being equal and parallel, only a short leap is needed to find them transforming into a rectangle if the angles are right! So, if you know your shapes, you now know \( S T U V \) is a rhombus and a special quadrilateral.
