A shape with four sides has more vertices because there are more points where edges (straight lines) meet than a 3-sided shape.
A polygon is a shape with these characteristics: •At least 3 sides •No curved edges •No crossing edges •Closed edges; all edges MUST connect at a corner.
1 face 3 sides and 3 edges which are sides
A triangle has 3 sides (or edges) and 3 corners (or angles)
An equilateral triangle has sides and angles. There are 3 sides in any triangle. Edges are in three dimensional figures.

A cube is a 3 dimensional shape with 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices whereas a quadrilateral is a 2 dimensional shape with 4 sides.
Is called a Dodecagon. * * * * * A dodecagon is a 2-dimensional (plane) shape with 12 SIDES. The term EDGES is normally used in the context of 3-dimensional objects. One such shape is a parallelopiped. A cube is a special case of a parallelopiped. In 3-D, a parallelopiped is to a cube what, in 2-D, a parallelogram is to a square.

An equilateral triangle has sides and angles. There are 3 sides in any triangle. Edges are in three dimensional figures.
There is no shape that is made up 3 sides that is not a triangle. Any shape that is made up of 3 sides is classified as a triangle no matter what shape or size it is.
3 corners (vertices) and 3 edges (sides).
If a cube has 6 sides, and the shape is four, then that's add 2. For that 6, a cube has 12 edges, which is 6+6, or 6*2. On a tetrahedron, the base shape is a triangle, and the 3D shape has 4, that means in order find how many sides a 100gonal shape has, the equation would be x= y+ how ever many above the triangle it is. The triangle to tetrahedron is x= y+1. 3 to 100 is 97, so the equation is x= y+97. Your y, in this case, is 100. So, your shape has 197 sides. A cube has 6 sides, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. A tetrahedron has 4 sides, and 6 edges, so that means it should have 5 vertices. The tetrahedron is an exception, it should have 5 vertices, but it only has 4. So to find the number of vertices a shape has, v, you need ton find the average between the number of faces and sides. If v is a decimal, then find the number right above it, for example: say you get 55.5 for your average, make it 56. The shape should have as many edges as the number of faces of the shape "above it". In your case, that's the 101gonal shape, which to find the amount of sides for that, use an earlier equation, x= y+98. Your shape has 197 sides, 199 edges, and 198 vertices.
A triangle as no other 2d shape can have 3 sides.
