Apsolotely not it is far away from ever being one unless you mechcanicaly pulled both ends of it and streched it out. Dr. Joseph Blue No!
Polygon is closed plane figure made up of 3 or more line segments.
Sphere is a three-dimensional figure with all points in space at an equaldistance from a fixed point.
The fixed point is called as center of the sphere.
So, a polygon is a two-dimensional figure and a sphere is a three-dimensional shape.
Hence, a sphere is not a polygon.

State a definition for a polygon inscribed in a sphere?
Inscribed polygon: a polygon contained within a circle, with each side being a chord of a circle.Chord: end points connected to an arc or a semicircle, forming a segment that lies in the interior of a circle.
Make a generalization for each set of polygons?
Polygons are unbounded because they close on themselves in a circuit. An infinite polygon goes on forever, making it unbounded. A skew polygon has three dimensions of zig-zagging and a spherical polygon, on the sphere surface, is a circuit of corners and sides.
What shape has 0 vertices's 0 edges and 1 face?
I believe that the only polyhedron or polygon that own all of these features to be a sphere
Is cube a polygon?
Cube is a 3 Dimentional object and polygon is a 2 Dimentional object, so cube can not be considered as polygon. this is same question if circle is a sphere? (dimensional)
What is the minimum number of sides of a polygon?
Two straight lines cannot enclose a space - therefore three lines is the minimum requirement for a polygon. I would like to note that a digon is a polygon and it has 2 sides. Therefore, the minimum is 2. However, some people call a digon an improper polygon since it contradicts the definition of polygon. A digon can only be made on a sphere, so the answer is never truly correct.
What a figure is not a polygon?
A sphere as a polygon is a shape with three or more sides and a sphere has no sides
What is a figure that is not a polygon?
a sphere. It has no sides.
What is the name of a polygon with 0 sides?
There is no name because such a polygon does not exist. A polygon must have at least three sides.
Explain why the shape of a football is not a polygon?
It has a curved surface.

What is the polygon sum conjecture on a sphere?
The sum of the measure of the n interior angles of an n-gon is asn/4
In a tessalation how many degrees are there when the polygon verticies meet?
360 * unless you are working on the surface of a sphere. OK Ok we live on a sphere but we usually ignore that fact. Correction....oblate spheroid And that is tessellation.
What is figure whose angles add to108 degrees?
A triangle (or other polygon) on a concave surface (such as the inside of a sphere), possibly.
Can you make a closed figure with 2 lines?
On a sphere, two great circles will form a biangle, a polygon with two sides.
Make a generalization for each set of polygons?
Polygons are unbounded because they close on themselves in a circuit. An infinite polygon goes on forever, making it unbounded. A skew polygon has three dimensions of zig-zagging and a spherical polygon, on the sphere surface, is a circuit of corners and sides.
What is a solid figure with one face that is a polygon?
A polygon is a many sided 2-dimensional figure, and thus could never be "solid" Alternatively, it could be "one face that is a polygon". In that case the solid could be like a pyramid that morphs into a cone or a part-sphere. The base would be the one polygon, the other face would not.
What shape has 0 vertices's 0 edges and 1 face?
I believe that the only polyhedron or polygon that own all of these features to be a sphere
