Bodies that are small and light (examples: moons of Mars) have low gravity and tend to have irregular shapes. Above a certain size, however, gravity is strong enough to overcome the strength of rock, forcing the body into a spherical geometry that minimizes surface area-to-volume ratio.

What shapes have no right angels and no equal sides?
Circles, some triangles, and irregular polygons
Why cams have irregular shape?
They need to convert rotational motion to motion of some other form - usually linear motion. That can only be accomplished through the use of specific irregular shapes.
What shapes have their adjacent sides equal?
Any regular polygon. And some irregular polygons which will have some adjacent sides equal - for example, a kite or an arrowhead (chevron).
What are the four types of 3D shapes?
There are a lot more than 4 types. Some simple examples: regular polyhedra, other polyhedra, star shapes, ellipoids (including spheres), toroids (like cycle inner tubes), shapes with two "holes" in them, totally irregular blobby shapes.
How do you the area of shapes?
You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.
Is an irregular shape a polygon?
Some polygons are irregular, but many irregular shapes are not polygons.Another answer: Yes
What some shapes that have five sides?
Pentagons have 5 sides and they can be regular or irregular
What are some other shapes of galaxies?
spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, irregular, and peculiar
What shapes have no right angels and no equal sides?
Circles, some triangles, and irregular polygons
What is an irregular topology?
An irregular topology can be defined as a network that is not usual. However, networks take different a shapes and routes and the irregular topology might in some cases be the best option.
Why do some scientists think that IrII galaxies have irregular distorted shapes?
They collided with another galaxy
Why do some scientists think that Irr II galaxies have irregular distorted shapes?
because it was made like that
What are the names of the objects which shapes like 2D?
Plane figures. There are infinitely many of them - some regular, others irregular.
Why cams have irregular shape?
They need to convert rotational motion to motion of some other form - usually linear motion. That can only be accomplished through the use of specific irregular shapes.
What the difference between regular and irregular patterns?
A regular polygon has all its angles and equal and all its sides equal. Irregular poygons do not. Some people consider only convex shapes meeting these criteria as being regular polygons while others include "star" shapes.
What shapes have their adjacent sides equal?
Any regular polygon. And some irregular polygons which will have some adjacent sides equal - for example, a kite or an arrowhead (chevron).
How do you find the volume of something that's not a rectangular prism?
There are different formulae for spheres, ellipsoids, cones and pyramids, paralellepipeds as well as some other shapes. For other shapes, including irregular shapes, the fluid displacement method may be the only option.
