What are polygons give example of polygons?
a polygon is a a shape with equal sided shape
What is the size of each angle of a regular polygon with 23 sides?
The sum of the angles of a polygon is equal to 180° times (n-2) where n is the number of sides.For a 23-sided polygon, that would give a total of (180°) x (21) = 3780°. If the angles are all the same, each would be 3780° ÷ 23 = 164.3478°
What is a 50 sided cuboid called?
A cuboid, by definition, has exactly six faces. So a 50 sided cuboid would be called an impossibility. There are many configurations that can give rise to a solid object with 50 faces. For example: a pyramid shape with a 25-sided polygon as base or a prism with 48 sided polygons at each end. There are lots more possibilities and each would have a different name.
How do you find the sum of angles in a n-sided polygon to give an expression for the measure of each interior angle of a regular n-gon?
It is: (number of sides -2)*180 = sum of interior angles If its a regular polygon then: sum of interior angles/number of sides = each interior angle
What are the name or type of polygon?
A polygon is a closed 2-dimensional shape whose boundaries are straight lines. These are its sides and a polygon can have 3 or more sides - with no maximum number. A 3 sided polygon is a triangle and a 4-sided one is called a quadrilateral. For 5 or more sides, the names are of the form n-gon where n is the Greek prefix for the number of sides. Since the number of sides is limitless, there are infinitely many polygons and so infinitely many names. It is obviously not possible to give a comprehensive list. See the link below for guidance on the prefices. However, you should use prefices for polygons with more than 12 sides only if you want to be unhelpful, obfuscatory or pretentious. If you wish to be communicative and helpful to your reader, it is much better (and wholly acceptable) to refer to a 17-sided polygon as a 17-gon rather than heptadecagon (and that's still a relatively easy name to decipher).
