Viruses have four main shapes: 1. spherical (like a ball) 2. helical (like a corkscrew or a spring) 3. Icosahedron (a twenty-sided shape kind of like two prisms glued together) 4. Bacteriophage (an icosahedron head and a spider-like tail)
if your talking about the cell then they can be any shape
Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
There are many geometric shapes. But the square, octagon, rectangle, pentagon, triangle, circle, hexagon and heptagon would be considered the main shapes.
For computer viruses, they have no physical shape, they are a string or program of codes that are made to effect files Regular viruses have a shape, but they are not needed as they dont effect what they do. Viruses just look like any bacterium, or in a spiderlike form.
