  • As many as it wants provided that all angles are congruent and all sides are the same length.
  • there is no limit. the angles and sides just have to be congruent. squares, pentagons, hexagons->>theyr all polygons
  • more than 2 but any positive whole number (i.e. 3 or more)
  • A polygon is a shape that have at least 3 sides, but may have more. (even millions and infinity)
  • A polygon can have any number of sides above 3 as long as it is a closed figure and all sides meet with each other at some point.
  • Three or more sides.
  • The word polygon is derived from the greek prefix polus, meaning "many", and the word gonia, meaning "angles". So the term polygon itself simply means "many angles". It does not limit itself to one type of shape, or any specific pattern of angles or even the consistency of length of any side. There are symmetrical, and asymmetrical polygons, which is to say there are polygons which consist of uniform angles throughout, and there are irregularly shaped polygons, as well. Add just one "corner" point to a circle, and you have a monogon or henagon. On a sphere, you can mark two opposing points (like the North and South poles) and join them by half a great circle, and the shape of each half would be a digon. A digon is a closed polygon having two sides and two corners. Some polygons are identified as having specific characteristics by their name, such as sides name 1..........henagon (or monogon) 2..........digon 3..........triangle (or trigon) 4..........quadrilateral (or tetragon) 5..........pentagon 6..........hexagon 7..........heptagon 8..........octagon 9..........enneagon (or nonagon) 10.........decagon 11.........hendecagon 12.........dodecagon 13.........tridecagon (or triskaidecagon) 14.........tetradecagon (or tetrakaidecagon) 15.........pentadecagon (or quindecagon or pentakaidecagon) 16.........hexadecagon (or hexakaidecagon) 17.........heptadecagon (or heptakaidecagon) 18.........octadecagon (or octakaidecagon) 19.........enneadecagon (or enneakaidecagon or nonadecagon) 20.........icosagon 100........hectogon or centagon 1000.......chiliagon 10,000.....myriagon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon Here are some examples of polygons - (click on pic to see full shape)
  • a few or more
  • I'll just ask my parrot - oh no it's left.
