What does it mean to have a polygon?
A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. For example, a triangle is a polygon with 3 sides.
Is it true that if a polygon has three sides then it is a triangle?
Yes, if that's all the polygon has. I mean, a hexagon also has three sides.
Is hexagon the strongest shape?
Well basically yeah it kinda is. A hexagon is A six sided figure. We know that many geometric buildings contains triangles. When a hexagon is cut into two it is a trapezoid. when that is cut into two in is a triangle. a hexagon is basically a lot of triangles stuck together. We all know that i triangle can't be stronger than two or more. so what do you think is stronger, a triangle or a hexagon. * * * * * The answer will depend on what you mean by "strongest" but the above answer is just a load of garbage! Any polygon with four or more sides is not rigid. It can be skewed in the same way that a square can be flexed so that it becomes a rhombus. The only rigid polygon is a triangle. That is one reason why triangles are used in structures and also why rectangles (or similar shapes) need to be cross-braced.
Which term describes a polygon with no dents in it?
A convex polygon.I suspect that what you mean is a convex polygon.
What is the name of a polyhedron that has 3 sides?
Short answer: there isn't one. The polyhedron with the smallest number of faces (which is probably what you mean) is the tetrahedron, which has four faces.Maybe you meant polygon, in which case the answer is a triangle.

What does the triangle mean?
A 3-sided polygon
Is an octogan a rigid shape?
If you mean an octagon then it is an 8 sided polygon
Is a skyline triangle a regular polygon?
If you mean a scalene triangle, then no. A regular polygon is defined as having equal angles. A scalene triangle has 3 different angles (and 3 different length sides).
Is it true that if a polygon has three sides then it is a triangle?
Yes, if that's all the polygon has. I mean, a hexagon also has three sides.
What does quidtritatrial mean?
Just like a triangle is a polygon with 3 sides, A Quadrilateral(quad) is a polygon with 4 sides. Pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides and hexagon is one with 6 sides.

What does regular polygon mean in math?
A regular polygon means a shape that has all equal lengths and angles. A couple examples are a square, an equilateral triangle, and a octagon shaped like a stop sign.
How many sides does a polygon have with the measure of 60 degrees?
It is impossible for a polygon to have only a measure of 60 degrees...if you mean per angle, then it has to be an equilateral triangle...of course we are talking about regular polygons here, right? :)
What does equilateral mean in triangle?
Equilateral means that all sides of a polygon are equal in length. "Equi" means "Equal" and "Lateral" means "Side, or sideways".
What the area of the irregular polygon 4 units2 units9 unitsand 4 units?
The lengths of the sides of any irregular polygon, other than a triangle, does not provide enough information to determine its area. This is because polygons with 4 or more sides are not rigid.
What does the symbol with a triangle and an arrow circling it mean with an exclamation mark in the traingle mean?
The sign with an exclamation mark in a triangle with arrows circling it is like, telling you to recycle. It's just, it has more meaning to it as if it were saying, "Recycle!!!"
