It has sixteen sides, the way I worked this out was this: let n equal the number of sides of the polygon, normally, the amount of degrees in a polygon equals (n-2)*180, so I changed the equation around to look like this: n - 2 = 2520/180 =14 therefore, n = 14+2 n = 16
There are 8 sides in the polygon with 8 sides (an octagon).
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 can have any number of three or more sides. It is a generic name for a many-sided figure, and does not specify a particular number of sides. A polygon is a shape constructed with straight lines and no gaps between each side.
A polygon can have any amount of sides - three or more, that is. There is a lovely Wikipedia page on polygons, it can help with any other polygon questions you may have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon
16 sides
dodecahedron you idiot
It has 16 sides and contains 14 triangles
If the polygon has n sides (whether it is regular or not), the sum of the interior angles is 180*(n - 2) So 180*(n - 2) = 2520 So (n - 2) = 2520/180 = 14 So that n = 16 sides.
A polygon can have 8 sides but does not have to. The word "Polygon" is made up of two words: "poly-" and "-gon" which have Greek roots which mean "many" and "angle" respectively; literally a "polygon" is a "many angled shape". A polygon is any shape that has 3 or more sides. An 8 sided polygon is called an octagon (literally "eight angles").
An exterior angle of 2520 degrees is impossible. Assuming you mean 252 degrees, this would make each interior angle 108 degrees, as 360- 252 = 108. A regular polygon with 108-degree interior angles has 5 sides, or in other words, it is a regular pentagon.
A quadrilateral is a polygon ("many angled") with 4 sides that intersect. Since a circle doesn't have any sides, it cannot be a polygon. A square, a trapezoid, a parallellogram, a rhombus, or a rectangle would all be examples of shapes that ARE polygons.
There is no formula for how many sides there are in a polygon; the name of the polygon shows how many sides it has.
"many angled."
it's a polygon
It has sixteen sides, the way I worked this out was this: let n equal the number of sides of the polygon, normally, the amount of degrees in a polygon equals (n-2)*180, so I changed the equation around to look like this: n - 2 = 2520/180 =14 therefore, n = 14+2 n = 16
Ah, polygons are like friends, they come in all shapes and sizes! A polygon can have any number of sides, as long as it has at least three straight sides and angles. So, whether it's a triangle with three sides or a dodecagon with twelve sides, each one is unique and special in its own way. Just like you and me, we all have our own special qualities that make us who we are.
