What is the maximum numbers of sides that a polygon can have?

Answer 1

A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides. The maximum number of sides a polygon can have is infinite, theoretically, as long as the sides form a closed shape without intersecting. However, in practical terms, polygons with a very large number of sides are typically referred to as circles in geometry due to their smooth and continuous nature.

Answer 2

A polygon is different than regular shapes, like square, triangle, rectangle. A polygon can be a regular shape like a square, but it can also have countless lines, angles, and shapes it it.

Take a pencil and piece of paper. Start at the top, middle of the page. Draw a short line there. Now, start making "steps" down both sides from that line. Suddenly stop and draw a line toward the middle of the page and stop wherever you want. Do the same on the other side, but the two lines toward the middle can be at different levels. On the left, make 3 steps down from this new line. On the right, draw 7 steps down from the line. Again, draw a line toward the middle--stop wherever you choose. Do the same on the left. Start "stepping" again; make long lines and short lines. When you decide to stop, connect the right side to the left side so your "drawing" has closed lines. THAT is a polygon.

DigitalGlobe is a satellite imaging company. They use polygon lines around items of interest on satellite images, then, let people on crowdsourcing then tag what is inside the polygon, for example, a building or no building. They use these images and tagging for humanitarian efforts, like mapping damaged areas after a cyclone or tornado. In this way, using polygons and their computers, they gather data that helps rescue teams on the ground.

Answer 3

The maximum number of polygons that a polygon is forever like any number in the number system
