Yes and No! It can never actually become a circle but it can get as close to a circle as you like.

A circle is the limiting shape for a regular polygon where the number of sides (vertices) increases to infinity. It would become a circle when the number of sides becomes equal to infinity but since that can never actually happen, the polygon cannot actually become a circle.

How many sides does a polygon have until it turns into a circle?

A polygon with 1000 sides is still a polygon but even a polygon of 100 sides gives characteristics of a circle. When demonstrating circles a polygon of 100 sides helps show the circle characteristics.


How Many Sides Are On A Circle?

A circle is not a polygon. Only polygons have sides. So the answer is none.


How many sides does a polygon haves until it turns into a circle?

Theoretically, there are an infinite number of sides a polygon could have. It will never turn into a circle.


How many sides does the largest shape have?

There is no limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. Mathematically, a circle is equivalent to a polygon with an infinite number of sides.


How many sides possible in a polygon?

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.


Is a circle is a flat closed figure that is not a polygon?

Yes because in order to be a polygon it must have 3 or more sides in fact the word polygon means many sides


How many connected sides does a polygon have?

It has 5 conected sides It has a minimum of 3.There is no real maximum,although at some poiny the polygon will appear to become a circle with no individual sides.


How many straight lines is formed for a polygon?

It depends. A polygon can have any number of sides, in the same way as a circle can have any radius.


How many sides do all shapes have?

A shape can have one side, as in a circle or an ellipse; and there are no limits to the maximum number of sides a polygon can have.


What is the formula for how many sides are in a polygon?

There is no formula for how many sides there are in a polygon; the name of the polygon shows how many sides it has.


Is a circle a quadralateral?

A quadrilateral is a polygon ("many angled") with 4 sides that intersect. Since a circle doesn't have any sides, it cannot be a polygon. A square, a trapezoid, a parallellogram, a rhombus, or a rectangle would all be examples of shapes that ARE polygons.


How many sides does the largest polygon have?

There is no mathematical limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. As the number of sides increases the polygon will become more and more like a closed curve - a regular polygon will become like a circle. The size of the polygon and accuracy of measurement will determine when it is no longer possible to distinguish between the polygon and the curve. Nevertheless, the two shapes will be mathematically different objects.
