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.
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.

How many cm are in 1 decameter?
1000, of course, as 1000 ×0,01 = 10.Greek "δέκα" means "ten", and Greek prefixes indicate multiples of units; hence 1 dekameter = 10 m. Latin prefixes indicate fractions of units; hence 1 cm (from Latin "centum", meaning "one hundred") contains 0,01 m.Note that 1 decimeter (from Latin "decem", meaning "ten") contains 10 cm, as you can easily verify, after these preliminaries.
