How many sides does a polygon have when only a compass and straight edge are used?
A compass and straight edge are used to create a polygon but do not limit the number of sides of the polygon created. You have to decide that separately, then use the compass and straight edge to make what you decide on.
What rule can be used to find number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex of regular polygon?
You can use the formula D=S-2 where D is the number of possible diagonals and S is the number of sides the polygon has.
Why do you use the number 2 to find the sum of the interior angle of a polygon?
It is used in the formula for finding the sum of the interior angles of a polygon:- (n-2)*180 = sum of interior angles whereas 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon
What is the formula used to calculate the number of sides in a polygon using its angle measures?
Let S be the sum of the measures of all the interior angles, in degrees. Then the number of sides is S/180 + 2.
What is the greatest number of sides a regular polygon can have?
Limited only by the media used to draw it! It can, of course, go critical and be indistinguishable from a circle!
What is a regular n-gon?
The term n-gon, where n is the number of the polygon's sides, also it could be used to name a polygon. For example, a polygon with 15 sides is a 15- gon.

How many edges on a pyramid?
A pyramid is a generic term, used to describe a three dimensional shape with a polygonal base and triangular sides that meet at an apex above the base. The base can be a polygon with any number of sides and the number of faces, edges and vertices of a pyramid depend on this number of sides. If the base is an n-sided polygon, then the pyramid has 2n edges.

What is a simple closed figure made up of line segments called?
a polygon
How many sides does a 12- gon have?
12. Whatever number you say before '-gon' is referring to the number of sides in the shape. However, 12-gon (or 20-gon, or whatever) is not the official name of any polygon but is commonly used. the commonly used name is a do-decagon
When naming polygons you can start with?
A vertex and count the number of vertices in the polygon. That is the number which will be used for naming the polygon.
What is the name of a polygon with 100 sides?
While a 100-sided polygon has no official name, the most commonly used terms are "hectogon" and "centagon".
How do you find the number of sides of two polygon given the number of diagonals?
Your question is quite confusing because you used the phrase 'two polygon'. When asking mathematical or geometrical questions about shapes you ask about a single specific thing . I assume you meant to ask, '----number of sides of various different polygons, given the number of diagonals in each of them.' I have been drawing polygons with 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 sides and discovering the number of diagonals which can be drawn inside each of them , does not seem to follow a simple formula. I will look into it further and see if I can post you an answer in a day or two. Very interesting question I must say. Hope I can solve it .Additional Information:-The diagonal formula for any polygon is: 1/2*(n2-3n) = number of diagonalsRearrange the formula into a quadratic equation and solve it for a positive value which will be the number of the sides of the given polygon
