Is a circle a regular polygon?

No, a circle is not a regular polygon because it is not even a polygon.A polygon must have at least 3 sides and 3 angles (a circle has 1 side and has 0 angles), it has to be a closed shape, and it cannot have curved lines (circles are curved). Therefore, a circle is not a polygon. You *might* think that a circle is just made up of a gazillion squares, but no. It's simply just a curved shape.

How do you explain why a circle is not a polygon?

A circle is composed by an infinite sequence of straight line segments, while a polygon has a finite sequence of straight line segments.

Is a circle a regular shape or non regular shape?

A circle is non-polygon. Meaning it has a curved side. A circle has no sides. It is non-regular.

What are the attributes of a polygon?

A polygon has sides A polygon can have any number of side A polygon can not be curved so a circle is not a polygon Regular Polygon Has congruent sides and angles Has lines of symmetry Irregular Polygon Doesn't have any equal sides or angles Doesn't have any lines of symmetry

Does a polygon have to have straight sides?

Yes. A polygon can't have curved sides. do
