'Poly' simply means 'many' or 'multiple', so a polygon is just a shape with any number of sides. Unlike hexagons ('hex'=6) or pentagons ('penta'=5), polygon is just a blanket word for any multi-sided shape. Squares and triangles and rhombuses and semicircles are all polygons.

Nearly correct.
The sides of a polygon must be straight lines so a semicircle is NOT a polygon.

How many sides as a polygon got?
It depends on the type of polygon; for example: if the polygon is a parallelogram; the number of sides is 4
A polygon has 12 sides how many vertices does the polygon have?
Twelve. The number of sides and vertices in a polygon are always the same.
How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides

How many sides does the polygon have?
A polygon does not have a set number of sides.
How many types of polygon you have?
A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. There are an infinite number of polygons, as the polygon is classified by the number of sides.
A polygon with the least possible number of sides?
A polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle (3 sides)
how many sides does a regular polygon have if the exterior angle is 15?
by the number of sides, 'n' of that particular polygon. by the exterior angle. Therefore, the number of sides of the polygon is 24 sides.
What tells the number of sides a polygon has?
a house. It has 5 sides like a polygon

Does a polygon have more sides or more angles and why?
yes a polygon does have the most number and sides because they have the most number of shapes with the most number of sides
What is the relationship between the number of sides and number of angles a polygon has?
A polygon has the same number of sides and angles.
How many sides does a regular polygon have?
The number of sides a polygon has depends on the polygon. A triangle has three sides (tri=3). A rectangle (quadrilateral) has four sides (quad=4). A regular polygon can have any greater number of sides, without limit.
What is a polygon with an unknown number of sides called?
A polygon with an unknown number of sides is called a n-gon. The letter "N" in n-gon stands for unknown.
