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 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.


What is a nonillion sided polygon called and after that?

Oh, dude, a nonillion-sided polygon is called a nonillion-gon. It's like the cool kid at the polygon party with a crazy amount of sides. After that, well, I guess you just keep adding more sides until you run out of breath trying to say the name.


How do you find the number of sides a regular polygon has if the interior angles equals 144?

Construct a 144° angle with two equally long lines. Keep on adding sides until you come back to the beginning. Count the sides. Mathematicaly you could divide a full circle with the value of the difference between the interior angel and a straight line (180°) So: 360° / (180° - 144° ) = 10 You will in either case get decagon (ten sided figure)


What is a 97 sided shaped called?

any shape after 12 sides is just called the number sides - gon. for example: 97 is a 97-gon (pronounced: ninety seven gon). this works for any other number sides except 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12. further examples are 11-gon, 15-gon, 47-gon, 101, gon... these go up until the angle measure of any regular polygon is exactly 180 degrees or as close as possible (179.99999...) making it a circle.


What is the shape of polygram?

A regular polygram is generalization of a (regular) polygon on sides (i.e., an -gon) obtained by connecting every th vertex around a circle with every th, "picking up" the pencil as needed to repeat the procedure after traversing the circle until none of the vertices remain unconnected. Lachlan (1893) defines polygram to be a figure consisting of straight lines. The best-known polygrams are the pentagram and hexagram (a.k.a. Star of David). The following table summarizes some named polygrams.
