A monogon (more commonly called the Henagon) is a one-sided polygon. In Euclidean Geometry, (on a flat plane) it is considered a impossible because lines continue on forever. In Spherical Geometry, [on a spherical (circular) plane] a finite monogon can be drawn by placing a placing a single vertex on a circle because circles are basically a polygon with infinite sides.

What do you call a 15 sided polygon?
henagon (or monogon)* * * * * A pentadecagon. But I prefer 15-gon since it is obvious what that means - without reference to a dictionary.
Can you list numbers 1-100 sided polygons please?

What is a henagon?
Ingeometry a henagon (or monogon) is a polygon with one edge and one vertex. It has Schläfli symbol {1}. Since a henagon has only one side and only one interior angle, every henagon is regular by definition. In Euclidean geometry, a henagon is usually considered to be an impossible object, because its single edge would extend to infinity. However, in spherical geometry a finite henagon can be drawn by placing a single vertex anywhere on a great circle. Two henagons can be used to construct a dihedron on a sphere, with Schläfli symbol, {1,2}.
Does a polygon only have to have one straight line?
Although a polygon is usually thought of as a two-dimensional figure with at least three sides, there is nothing in the definition of a polygon that prohibits its use for the classification of a one-sided figure. A one-sided figure is known as a henagon or a monogon. A polygon, by definition, has as many vertices as it has sides, so a single-sided polygon would have to, in order to meet that criterion, curve in on itself so that the two ends of the side meet to form a vertex. In order for the polygon to not be curved, it would have to be made up of two straight lines (this figure is known as a digon). So no, a polygon cannot be a single straight line.

What does monogon mean?
A shape with one side
Is there a 1 sided shape?
Yes a monogon
What do you call a one sided shape?
a monogon or henagon
What do you call a 15 sided polygon?
henagon (or monogon)* * * * * A pentadecagon. But I prefer 15-gon since it is obvious what that means - without reference to a dictionary.
Is there such thing as a 2 sided polygon?
Yes. A digon can have 2 sides, but only in a spherical geometry. In normal Euclidean geometry both the monogon and the digon have just 1 side.

What are the names to polygons from 3 to 100 sides?
monogon -------------------- 3: Triangle 4: Quadrilateral 5: Pentagon 6: Hexagon 7: Heptagon 8: Octagon 9: Nonagon 10: Decagon There are names for some polygons with a higher number of sides, but these are rarely used. Typically we use the phrase "n-gon." Thus, a 69-sided polygon would be referred to as a 69-gon.

What shape has fewer than 3 vertices?
There are many shapes that have fewer than 3 vertices like the circle, hyperbola, semi circle, and many others. However if you are only talking about polygons then there is no actual shape with fewer than 3 vertices that you can find in a real life situation but they do have names for these shapes. A 2-sided polygon is known as a digon. A 1-sided polygon is known as a monogon. These shapes only exist in theory however and not in real life.
