What is the difference between a polygon and a curve?
well a polygon has angles and a curve has none.
Is a triangle with a curve a polygon?
No, all the sides of a polygon must be straight lines.
How is a frequency curve in statistics different from a frequency polygon?
In order to plot the points on either the frequency polygon or curve, the mid values of the class intervals of the distribution are calculated. Then the frequencies with respect to the mid points are plotted. However in a frequency curve the points are joined by a smooth curve, where as in a frequency polygon the points are joined by straight lines. Apart from this major difference, a frequency polygon is a closed figure where as the frequency curve is not.
What is Frequency curve?
A frequency curve is a graph obtained by joining the points of a frequency polygon freehand smoothly.
How many sides does the largest polygon have?
There is no mathematical limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. As the number of sides increases the polygon will become more and more like a closed curve - a regular polygon will become like a circle. The size of the polygon and accuracy of measurement will determine when it is no longer possible to distinguish between the polygon and the curve. Nevertheless, the two shapes will be mathematically different objects.

What is the difference between a concave and a convex polygon?
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
What is an inscribed polygon?
A circle with a polygon in it An inscribed polygon is any polygon that can fit within a specific curve or circle.
Is a triangle with a curve a polygon?
No, all the sides of a polygon must be straight lines.

What is the opposite to a convex polygon?
An open curve, perhaps.

What polygon has a long curved line?
A polygon is made up only of line segments. If a 2-dimensional closed figure has even one curve line, then it is not a polygon.
Polygon that has at least one dent in it?
What do you mean by "dent"?A curve? A polygon cannot have a curve anywhere along its edge. A polygon is defined to have straight edges only. Other shapes besides polygons exist, such as circles and ellipses and the like, but they are not polygons.If you mean that a part of the shape comes inward toward the body/center of the polygon... but the edges are still straight... then the only shapes that can do this have at least five sides. And polygons that do this are called "concave polygons". Look up what a concave polygon is to verify this is what youre talking about.
What is the difference between a cummulative frequency graph and a cumulative frequency polygon?
A cumulative frequency polygon has straight lines connecting the points. A normal cumulative frequency diagram uses a smooth curve to join the points.
Are squares and parallelograms polygons?
Yes. A polygon is simply an unbroken chain of straight lines. Put the point of a pencil on paper, start drawing as much as you want but never lift the pencil, never make a curve, and end where you began. That's a polygon no matter how it turned out. Any shape you can do that with is a polygon.
