A stack of identical polygons will make a prism.A stack of polygons which gradually become smaller will make a pyramidal frustum.
If the stack continues until the polygon becomes infinitesimally small, then they will make a pyramid.
Under the same conditions, discs will make a cylinder, conic frustum and cone, respectively.

When a polygon can be constructed by using a combination if other polygons its called?
Since any polygon can be constructed from a combination of other polygons, I would call this rule a "trivial property of polygons".
Using the piling method what can be constructed from polygons alone?
pyramid (not including the vertex) Prism
Is a right angle always a polygon?
A polygon is pretty much any enclosed shape constructed of straight line segments connected end to end. The angles do not have to be right. In fact, they usually aren't. A right angle would NEVER be a polygon, as it is just one right angle. In Euclidean geometry a right angle must be accompanied by two acute angles to form a triangle--the polygon with the smallest number of sides.
What is another name for a polygon?
A polygon is a 2-dimentional polytope. The polytope extends the idea out of the plane (the 2 dimensions in which a polygon is confined), and is a more general term. A polygon is a planar geometric figure constructed using 3 or more line segments that are joined end to end to end. The segments make a "closed" figure by virtue of the fact that they are each and every one connected end to end to end. Wikipedia has a good post on the polygon. You'll find a link to that post just down below here. Surf on over, even if it's just to look at the diagrams there. It will be worth the trip simply to see the figures.
Whats the definition of a irregular polygon?
The definition of a irregular polygon is any polygon that is not a regular polygon.
Is cube can be constructed from discs alone?
a cone (not including the vertex) and a cylinder
What do you call a 24-sided polygon?
The constructed polygon name for a 24-sided regular polygon is an icosikaitetragon.
When a polygon can be constructed by using a combination if other polygons its called?

Is a diamond a polygon?
A diamond is indeed a polygon. It's a closed figure lying on a plane and constructed of straight lines.
What is A graphic representation of a frequency distribution constructed by connecting the class midpoints with lines?
This is called a frequency polygon.
Which can be constructed from polygons alone?
More complicated polygons.
What is a Zamboni pile?
A Zamboni pile is an early electric battery constructed from discs of silver foil, zinc, foil and paper.
Which regular polygon will tessellate alone?
An equilateral triangle, a square and a hexagon.
Is a bell a polygon?
A bell is a shape, but not a polygon. Polygons are constructed only from straight line segments, they do not contain curves (a circle is not a polygon either, unless you imagine it as being composed of infinitely many line segments, each of which is infinitely short).
What is an example of a pentagon?
Any 5 sided shape constructed from straight non overlapping lines. A 5 sided polygon.
Using the piling method what can be constructed from polygons alone?
pyramid (not including the vertex) Prism
Using the piling method which or the following can be constructed from discs along?
Cone ( not including the vertex ) Cylinder ( APEX )
