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 has 2 more sides than a quadrilateral?

A polygon with two more sides than a quadrilateral, which has four sides, is a hexagon. A hexagon has six sides. Examples of hexagons include regular hexagons, which have equal side lengths and angles, and irregular hexagons, which can have sides of varying lengths.


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 many sides can the tessellating regular polygon have?

A tessellating regular polygon can have 3, 4, or 6 sides. Triangles (3 sides), squares (4 sides), and hexagons (6 sides) can tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. Polygons with more than six sides cannot tessellate because they cannot fill the space evenly without leaving gaps.


What triangle has more than 2 equal sides?

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


How many triangles are there in a heptagon?

What shapes has more than 3 sides?

Shapes with more than three sides are called polygons. Common examples include quadrilaterals (4 sides), pentagons (5 sides), hexagons (6 sides), and octagons (8 sides). As the number of sides increases, these shapes can have more complex names, such as decagons (10 sides) and dodecagons (12 sides), and they can be regular or irregular depending on the length of their sides and the size of their angles.


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


What is the shape that is a polygon and has more than four sides?

There are pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, et cetera.


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.
