Is a triangle a polygon?
Yes, a triangle is a polygon.A polygon is any closed figure made up of 3 or more line segments. The triangle qualifies, and it is the "most simple" polygon as it has the least number of sides.A triangle is most certainly not a ploygon. However, it is a polygon.
What do the angles of a five sided polygon add up to?
540 degrees. you figure it out by seeing how many triangles you can make in the polygon (without crossing lines), and, because triangles equal 180 degrees, you multiply 180 times how many triangles you can make.
How many triangles are in an 11 sided polygon?
Any n-sided regular polygon, by joining a single vertex up to each of the others, will have a total of (n - 2) triangles inside. In this case, an 11-sided polygon will contain 11 - 2 = 9 triangles.
What polygon shapes make up a triangular prism?
I think it's 3 triangles and 1 rectangle but, I'm only in 6th grade.
A closed figure made up of line segments is?
A closed figure made up of line segments is called a polygon. The segments in a polygon are called sides or edges.
What is the total interior angle of a regular polygon if 20 triangles can be drawn inside the polygon?
20 triangles will fit into a 22 sided polygon whose interior angles add up to 3600 degrees
How do you get the square inches of a polygon?
In general, you divide up the polygon into triangles, calculate the areas of the triangles and then sum these.
How is a polygon made up of 6 triangles?
it just is ok...thats just how the world works
What shape has 5 faces made up of triangles and rectangles?
The shape is a triangular prism. This is a 3-dimensional polygon with two ends that are triangles and three rectangular sides connecting them.* * * * *FYI, a 3-dimensional polygon is known as a polyhedron.

Why do you subtract 2 when calculating the interior degrees of a 24 sided polygon?
Basically when you have a 24 sided polygon you can split it up into 22 separate, non-overlapping triangles by drawing diagonals. Each triangle has 180 degrees, so the product, 22 times 180, gives you the sum of the interior angles of the 24 sided polygon.
What polygon makes up a kite?
Two equilateral triangles or one rhombus.
Are regular hexagons rigid?
No. The only rigid polygon is a triangle. Any other needs diagonals - which break up the polygon into triangles.
What do the angles of a five sided polygon add up to?
540 degrees. you figure it out by seeing how many triangles you can make in the polygon (without crossing lines), and, because triangles equal 180 degrees, you multiply 180 times how many triangles you can make.
How is the number of triangles in a polygon related to the number of sides?
by adding up all the sides
What two dimensional shapes make up the net afor a pyramid?
A polygon with n sides, and n triangles, where n ≥ 3. Most commonly, the polygon at the base is a triangle or a square. If the base polygon is regular and the pyramid is a right pyramid (ie apex above the centre of the basal polygon), the triangles will be isosceles.
How many triangles would it take to make hexagon?
To form a hexagon, you would need a total of 6 triangles. Each side of the hexagon would be made up of one triangle, so when you combine all six sides, it creates a hexagon. This is because a hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles, and each side is made up of a single triangle.
