It all comes down to the shape's Latin roots.

tri = three

quardi = four

pent = five

hex = six

oct = eight

deca = ten

As you can see, triangle only has three sides, and hexagon has six, so a triangle does not have more sides than a hexagon.

What is the study of hexagons if trigonometry is the study of triangles?

Hexagons are only combined triangles and would demonstrate the same functions and relationships as triangles. Geometry is the study of all shapes. This includes hexagons. Trigonometry developed much later than geometry for applying the study of triangles to practical application.

How do you classify triangles by their sides and br their angles?

Classification of triangles by their sides:equilateral = 3 sides are equalisosceles = 2 sides are equalscalene =no equal sideClassification of triangles by their angles:acute = the 3 angles are less less than 90 degreesright = it has an angle which is 90 degreesobtuse = it has an angle which is more than 90 degrees


Can a triangle have more than 2 angles?

Yes, triangles have three angles since they have three sides.


Why do you suppose the girders are often arranged in triangles?

Because triangles distribute the weight to the sides of the bottom of the triangle allowing it to hold more weight than if it were a square

Does an Isosceles have two equal sides?

Yes. Isosceles triangles have two identical sides and angles. They are also longer than the third side.All triangles have three sides. Isosceles triangles have two sides of the same length.

What are properties of hexagons?

An exagon is not a commonly known shape. It may possibly be a misspelling or a rare geometric term. Assuming you meant "hexagons", here are some properties of hexagons: Six sides: Hexagons have six straight sides. Six angles: Hexagons have six interior angles, each measuring 120 degrees, making the sum of their angles 720 degrees. Regular or irregular: Hexagons can be regular, with all sides and angles equal, or irregular, with different side lengths and/or angles. Convex or concave: Hexagons can be convex, where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees, or concave, where at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degrees. Symmetry: Regular hexagons possess rotational symmetry of order 6, meaning they can be rotated by multiples of 60 degrees and still appear the same. Diagonals: Hexagons have nine diagonals (lines connecting non-adjacent vertices). Tessellation: Hexagons are an efficient shape for tessellating (covering a plane with no gaps or overlaps) in combination with other hexagons. Symmetrical division: By connecting some of its diagonals, a hexagon can be divided into three congruent parallelograms or six congruent triangles.


What are the three kinds of triangles according to the no of sides?

All triangles have exactly three sides. If the number of sides were anything other than three there would not be a triangle - of any kind.
