a circle * * * * * No. A circle is not a polygon because a polygon MUST have straight sides. There is, however, no maximum number - just like infinity being the biggest number.
The number of sides possible in a polygon is a minimum of 3, with an unlimited maximum. For a regular polygon, as the number of sides approaches infinity, it approaches the shape of a circle.
A polygon need not have any lines of symmetry. The maximum number of lines of symmetry is attained if the polygon is regular; and this is the number of sides (or vertices) of the polygon. If a regular polygon has an even number of sides, then the lines of symmetry are those joining opposite vertices, and those joining the mid-points of opposite sides. If the polygon has an odd number of sides/vertices, the lines of symmetry are those joining each vertex to the mid-point of the opposite side.
The maximum number of right angles in a polygon is determined by the formula (n-2), where n represents the number of sides in the polygon. A polygon with n sides can have a maximum of (n-3) right angles, as the sum of interior angles in a polygon is given by (n-2) * 180 degrees. Since a right angle measures 90 degrees, the maximum number of right angles in a polygon is limited by the total number of interior angles.
A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. There are an infinite number of polygons, as the polygon is classified by the number of sides.
