How many lines of symmetry does a polygon has?
A polygon need not have any lines of symmetry. The maximum number of lines of symmetry is attained if the polygon is regular; and this is the number of sides (or vertices) of the polygon. If a regular polygon has an even number of sides, then the lines of symmetry are those joining opposite vertices, and those joining the mid-points of opposite sides. If the polygon has an odd number of sides/vertices, the lines of symmetry are those joining each vertex to the mid-point of the opposite side.
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.
Does a polygon always have the same number of vertices as sides?
yes
Do the number of vertices always equal the number of sides?
In a simple polygon, yes.
What 2 advanced polygons have the same number of sides and vertices?
The number of sides and vertices in any polygon is always the same.
What is the greatest number of lines of symmetry a polygon with 14 sides can have?
A polygon with 14 sides can have at most 14 lines of symmetry. This would occur if the polygon was a regular polygon (i.e. all its sides would have to be equal and all its angles would have to be equal). The lines of symmetry would run between the midpoints of opposite sides and between opposite vertices.
How do you determine number or vertices of a polygon?
You can dertimine a number of vertices a polygon has by counting all the dots around the shape
What is the rule for the number lines of symmetry of any regular polygon?
Number of lines of symmetry = Number of sides of the regular polygon
How does the number of vertices of a polygon compare to the number of sides of the same polygon?
They are equal.
Does a polygon usually have more sides or more angels?
Any polygon has the same number of angles as its sides.
How many vertices does a seven-sided polygon have?
A polygon has the same amount of vertices as it does sides, so it would have 7 vertices.
A polygon has fourteen vertices How many sides does the polygon have?
Fourteen. Each polygons has the same number of sides as it has vertices. Therefore, a polygon with 14 vertices must have 14 sides.
