If it is the outline of an arrow, and is made up of only straight lines, then it is a polygon. I tried to "draw" one, as an example, but the browser used at this site completely messed it up.

Is and arrow a polygon?

an arrow is or isn't a polygon?


Is a polygon a arrow?

The polygon is not a arrow. It is a shape.


Is an arrow a polygon if so why?

An arrow can be a polygon. A polygon is any two dimensional plane figure. An arrow can, obviously, be a three dimensional object.


Is an arrow a polygon?

A polygon is a shape that is closed with straight sides and the sides do not overlap like these. I don't know if an arrow is a polygon.


Would an arrow be a polygon?

Its shaft would have to be wide enough so as not to be represented by a single line. All lines would have to be straight.


Is there such thing as a 7-sided polygon?

Yes, there is. For example, a box-letter arrow is a polygon. A stick-letter arrow is not, because it is not in 1 piece


How many edges does a arrow have?

An arrow head has 4 sides and it is a quadrilateral polygon

Is an arrow a regular or a irregular?

It is an irregular polygon.


Is an arrow a regular polygon?

No but it is a quadrilateral because it has 4 sides


What kind of polygon is an arrow?

This question is very difficult to answer because of the ambiguity of what an "arrow" is. An arrow that you might fire from a bow is a three dimensional object and so is not a polygon. An arrow drawn as a straight line with a direction indicator at its head with or without tail feathers (for example <|----<< : oh, the graphics on this browser are so good, aren't they!) is not a polygon because the shaft is a line: a 1-dimensional object. An arrow such as the default one used to represent the cursor in Windows is a concave heptagon.


Why can't a concave quadrilateral be regular?

By definition, a regular polygon has all interior angles the same, but a concave polygon has some interior angles that are not identical. Also, it violates the axiom that all vertices lie on a circle.While it is possible to construct a polygon with equilateral sides, to be concave would require a form that is equally convex and laterally opposite. (An example is a 'solid arrow shape.')
