Effectively, the answer is that a regular polygon could have an infinite number of sides.
However, when the number of sides reaches a thousand or so there is very little difference to the naked eye between such a polygon and a circle.
For information : Some of the early calculations for pi were based on the very small difference between a polygon with a very large number of sides and a circle.

If the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 178 what is the number of sides of the polygon?
180 sides!
The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 144 degrees Find the number of sides of the regular polygon?
It will have 10 equal sides
How many triangles can you fit in a regular polygon?
The number of triangles that we can fit in a regular polygon with n sides is n - 2.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and non-regular polygon?
All the sides of a regular polygon have the same length. If two or more sides of a polygon have different lengths, then the polygon is not regular.
What is the largest polygon called and how many sides dose it have?
There is no such thing as a largest polygon, just as there is no largest number. You can always add one more to a number - or add one more side to get a bigger polygon.
How many sides does the largest polygon have?
There is no mathematical limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. As the number of sides increases the polygon will become more and more like a closed curve - a regular polygon will become like a circle. The size of the polygon and accuracy of measurement will determine when it is no longer possible to distinguish between the polygon and the curve. Nevertheless, the two shapes will be mathematically different objects.
How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides
What is the formula to find the sides of a regular polygon?
360/exterior angle = number of sides of a regular polygon
What is the number of sides of a regular polygon if its sum of interior polygon is 5760?
It will have 34 sides
How many sides does a regular polygon have?
The number of sides a polygon has depends on the polygon. A triangle has three sides (tri=3). A rectangle (quadrilateral) has four sides (quad=4). A regular polygon can have any greater number of sides, without limit.
What is the rule for the number lines of symmetry of any regular polygon?
Number of lines of symmetry = Number of sides of the regular polygon
How many sides does the largest shape have?
There is no limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. Mathematically, a circle is equivalent to a polygon with an infinite number of sides.
If the measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is 108 how many sides does the regular polygon have?
To find the number of sides of a regular polygon, you can use the formula: Number of sides = 360 degrees ÷ Measure of each interior angle. In this case, if one interior angle is 108 degrees, the regular polygon has 360 ÷ 108 = 3.33 sides. Since a polygon cannot have a fractional number of sides, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the regular polygon has 3 sides, which makes it an equilateral triangle.
how many sides does a regular polygon have if the exterior angle is 15?
by the number of sides, 'n' of that particular polygon. by the exterior angle. Therefore, the number of sides of the polygon is 24 sides.
How do you work out the exterior and interior angles of a regular polygon with W sides?
Exterior angle regular polygon = 360° ÷ number of sides = 360° ÷ W Interior angle regular polygon = 180° - exterior angle regular polygon = 180° - (360° ÷ number of sides ) = 180° - (360° ÷ W)
If the midpoint of successive sides of a regular polygon are joined a smaller regular polygon is formed Find a polygon of such number of sides so that the area is half that of the larger?
The polygon is a Quadrilateral.
If the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 178 what is the number of sides of the polygon?
180 sides!
