In geometry, a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that describes the corners or intersections of geometric shapes.
A two-dimensional shape, such as a triangle, is composed of two parts -- edges and vertices. The edges are the lines that make up the boundary of the shape. Each point where two straight edges intersect is a vertex. A triangle has three edges -- its three sides.
