By definition, a polygon has three or more sides, so we'll start there.
3 -- trigon (more usually a triangle)
4 -- tetragon (more usually a quadrilateral)
5 -- pentagon
6 -- hexagon
7 -- heptagon
8 -- octagon
9 -- enneagon (also nonagon)
10 -- decagon
After about six sides, mathematicians usually refer to these polygons as n-gons, so a nine-sided figure could also be referred to as a 9-gon.

What number does centi stand for?
centi comes from the Latin word for 100. In the metric system it means 1/100, as the Latin prefixes mean reciprocal multipliers [1/10, 1/100, 1/1000, etc], and Greek prefixes are the 'normal' multipliers [10, 100, 1000, etc.]
What is 1cm in millimetres?
There are 10 millimetres in every 1 centimetre. The reason for this is that centi means 1/100 and milli means 1/1000 according to the SI prefixes. 0.001/0.01 gives 10.
How do you memorize polygons?
1 face at a time
Is 10-5 microMoles equal to 10 Moles?
10 Moles is equivalent to a value of 10^7 micromoles. 1 micromole is equivalent to 10^-6 moles. Learning metric prefixes will help in this situation.
What are the 1- 1000000000 sided polygons?
1000000000 is a RIDICUOLOSYON
What metric unit is based on units of 10?
Prefixes based on powers of 10 can be used with any SI (metric) unit. Some of the common prefixes are: Deka (10) Hekto (100) deci (1/10) centi (1/100) kilo (1000 Mega (million) milli (1/1000) micro (1/1,000,000)
What language are the SI prefixes taken from?
The SI prefixes are from Greek, including deka, hecta, kilo, and mega (10, 100, 1000, 1 million)
Does 1 kiloliter equal 4 milliliters?
One Kilo Liter is 1000 times one liter. follwoing are some prefixes used in the metric system. 10^3 kilo 10^0 no prefixes, only unit 10^-1 deci 10^-2 centi 10^-3 milli
What do the prefixes kilodecicentimillimicroand nano represent?
The prefixes kilo represents 1000, deci represents 1/10, centi represents 1/100, milli represents 1/1000, micro represents 1/1,000,000, and nano represents 1/1,000,000,000. These prefixes are used to scale units of measurement in the metric system.
What are the prefixes indicating the number of carbons in an organic molecule from 1-10?
These prefixes are:meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept, oct, non, dec.
What number does centi stand for?
centi comes from the Latin word for 100. In the metric system it means 1/100, as the Latin prefixes mean reciprocal multipliers [1/10, 1/100, 1/1000, etc], and Greek prefixes are the 'normal' multipliers [10, 100, 1000, etc.]
Are quadrilaterals polygons in geometry?
Yes they are polygons as they have more than 1 side.
What is the polygons of 1?
point
How do prefixes micro nano and pico relate to each other?
They are different prefixes for amounts less than unity:kilo = 1/1000micro = 1/1,000,000nano = 1/1,000,000,000pico = 1/1,000,000,000,000
1 deka liter equals how many liters?
There are two, somewhat rare, related prefixes. deci - 1/10 deca - 10 So, a deciliter would be 1/10 liters, or 0.1 liters.
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.
List the prefixes less than 1 and indicate their value?
Deci - 10-1 Centi - 10-2 (1 centimeter = 0.01 meter) Milli - 10-3 (1 milliliter = 0.001 liter) Micro - 10-6 Nano - 10-9 Pico - 10-12
