геометрическая фигура

AI overview

A cross is a shape made of two lines intersecting at right angles, with variations that differ in how their arms are proportioned or angled—such as a Greek cross where all four arms are equal length, or a saltire where the arms are slanted. Crosses have been significant throughout history and across cultures, appearing in religious symbolism, heraldry, and design.
