What is the largest possible number of parallel sides in a polygon?
The polygon may have 2n sides, where n is any whole number greater than 1
What is a shape with no parallel or perpendicular sides?
A regular triangle, pentagon, heptagon, nonagon, etc ie Any regular polygon with an odd number of sides.
How does the number of vertices of a polygon compare to the number of sides of the same polygon?
They are equal.
How many sides a polygon have with an angle 30?
Smallest possible interior angle of regular polygon is 60 degrees (triangle). The greater the number of sides, the greater each interior angle. If exterior angle is 30 degrees, the polygon has 12 sides.
Is a pentagon convex?
A regular pentagon is convex. By taking a regular pentagon and shortening or lengthening one or more sides, an infinite number of possible convex pentagons can be created. A convex polygon is defined as a polygon such that all internal angles are less than or equal to 180 degrees, and a line segment drawn between any two vertices remains inside the polygon. It is possible to have non-convex (concave) pentagons; there are infinite number possible ways to do this, too.
What is the largest polygon?
There is no largest polygon - just as there is no largest number.
What is the largest possible number of parallel sides in a polygon?
The polygon may have 2n sides, where n is any whole number greater than 1
Which shapes have a pair of perpendicular sides?
There are infinitely many possible answers. For example, any regular polygon with an even number of sides.
How many sides does the largest polygon have?
There is no mathematical limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. As the number of sides increases the polygon will become more and more like a closed curve - a regular polygon will become like a circle. The size of the polygon and accuracy of measurement will determine when it is no longer possible to distinguish between the polygon and the curve. Nevertheless, the two shapes will be mathematically different objects.
What is the largest polygon called and how many sides dose it have?
There is no such thing as a largest polygon, just as there is no largest number. You can always add one more to a number - or add one more side to get a bigger polygon.
What is the largest number of perpendicular sides in an octagon?
8
What is the largest possible number of perpendicular sides in a hexagon?
A concave hexagon can have 6 perpendicular sides if you count the external angle of one. The angles would be 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 270
How many sides possible in a polygon?
The number of sides possible in a polygon is a minimum of 3, with an unlimited maximum. For a regular polygon, as the number of sides approaches infinity, it approaches the shape of a circle.
How many sides does the largest shape have?
There is no limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. Mathematically, a circle is equivalent to a polygon with an infinite number of sides.
What is the largest number of sides for a polygon?
You can have any number greater than 2. There is no limit.
Area of a polygon?
If it's a regular polygon, and you know the length of the perpendicular from the center to the middle of a side, and the length of a side, A = LNS, where L is the length of the perpendicular, N is the number of sides, and S is the number of sides. See the link for a more detailed explanation of various ways to compute the area of regular polygons.
A polygon with the least possible number of sides?
A polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle (3 sides)
