Add together the lengths of all the sides that make up the boundary of the shape. These need not be straight lines.
The usual definition is that the lines should be straight. On "alternative geometries", other definitions may be used. For example, on a sphere, the large circles (the largest you can make, whose center is the center of the sphere) replace straight lines. Note that in this case, the normal parallel axiom is no longer valid.
No not just any shape that has 8 side can be called an octagon. An octagon has straight lines that make up a closed bounded shape.
A polygon is a shape made of three or more straight lines that surround a closed space. If you had three lines that did not make a triangle but instead looked like the letter "N," that would not be a polygon because the lines don't close a space. A space is closed when it is entirely surrounded by lines.Hope that helped :D
The simplest answer is a cylinder (although you could squish it a bit to make something slightly different). It has a curved rectangular face, two circular faces, and two curved edges.
a polygon is a shape with 5 corners A pentagon has five sides. A polygon has 3 or more sides, is closed and has line segments as the sides ( no curved sides ).
You can't get a curved shape on minecraft. Everything is squared.
no

To draw an hourglass, you need a piece of paper. Next you need to draw two vertical lines of the same length. After that, draw the horizontal lines connecting the vertical lines. When that is done, you need to draw two triangles overlapping themselves. Make small curves at the top, middle and bottom. Make the triangles slightly curved, then erase the original triangles. Color in the bottom and top to the three curved lines. You have an hourglass, but to make it more interesting, draw two short straight lines on the top and two small straight lines on the bottom. HOURGLASS!

no it is linear because in order to make a shape you have to use lines even with a circle buts its just one curved line... -Alize Mitchell
what do you mean? it depends the way you kick it. Most of the time it's kicked in a straight line and other times, it's kicked in a curved shape or parabola, because you're not capable to kick it straight.

A vertex is when 2 edges meet and make a curved line.
