They don't. A pentagon for example, which is a polygon of 5 sides, also has 5 angles.

What shapes are polygons and non polygons?

most polygons have 4 sides but they can also have 3 sides non polygons can have 8 9 or 12 sides The above answer is total rubbish. The following is mostly correct except that a polygon must have straight sides so you cannot have a polygon with two sides. Answer: a polygon is a closed figure having any number of sides more than one. (poly=many) A polygon with 3 sides is a triangle. A polygon with four sides might be a square, rhombus, rectangle or something completely irregular. Angles do not have to be right angles. A figure that is not enclosed ( a squiggle, a semicircle, any open figure) is not a polygon.


Does a polygon usually have more sides than more angles?

No because it has as many angles as it has many sides


What are the polygons with 1-1000 sides?

Polygons are plane closed figures bounded by straight lines. There cannot be polygons with fewer than 3 sides.


What is called a polygon with equal angle measure?

All you can say about it is that it's "equiangular" ... a big word that means all of its angles measure the same size. At first, one might think that a polygon with all angles equal is "regular" ... that if all of its angles are equal, then its sides must also be all of the same length. But that's only true of a triangle, and doesn't hold for polygons with more than three sides. Example: A rectangle has all angles equal, but not its sides.


Which shape has 3 more sides than a triangle?

A triangle has three sides, so a hexagon (a shape with six sides) would have three more sides than a triangle.
