No. A circle has no straight lines. You can approximate circles with very small straight lines (that's how a computer draws circles) but mathematically, no.

What is a shape made up of line segments?

A shape made up of line segments is a shape with straight lines, or a polygon. for example, a square has straight lines, or is made up of line segments. A circle is not in that category because it has no straight lines, they are curved.


How many perpendicular lines does a circle have?

A circles has no perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are two straight lines that join forming 90 degree angles. They are found in squares, rectangles, and right-angled triangles. A circle is made by one line that is not straight but is curved. If you drew a circle, rectangle, right-angled triangle, or cross in the circle, then the circle would contain perpendicular lines. But the circle itself would have no perpendicular lines.


Can a curved surface have any straight lines like a semicircle for example?

if you are drawing a circle with the help of circle tool in computer with paint, you will find that if you zoom it,the circle is made with small lines.


How do you prove that a circle is made up of straight lines?

A circle is NOT made up of straight lines. As the number of sides of an n-gon are increased and the length of each side is reduced, the distance between the n-gon and the circle can be made smaller than an arbitrarily small number. The n-gon TENDS to the circle as the length of the largest straight line segment tends to zero but that does not mean the two are ever the same.


Can a circle be a parallel line?

No, parallel lines are straight lines.


Is a circle a polygon with curved sides?

No, all polygons have straight lines. All lines are straight


What is a squashed circle with no straight lines?

Oval


Can you cut a circle into 5 pieces with 2 straight lines?

No, because, none of the combinations of lines can evenly slit spaces. Fold the circle first, and then you can cut the circle into 5 pieces with 2 straight lines.


Is a circe a polygon?

No. A polygon is a plane area which is bounded by straight lines. A circle does not consist of straight lines.


How many straight edges circle has?

None, circles aren't straight lines.


What shape has 2 curved lines and 2 straight lines?

It could be a stretched circle - a bit like an ellipse except that an ellipse does not have straight lines.
