Move to wiktionary?

This word is more commonly mentioned than used... Can this article possibly be any more than a stub? Or should it be moved to Wikitionary?

No, it should be kept in Wikipedia. It's an article and would not be suitable for Wiktionary. If it were moved to Wiktionary, it would most likely be moved back in the near future. So, keep it in Wikipedia. Kamope · talk · contributions 13:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Names of polygons with more than 10,000 sides

Do you know of a name of any polygon with more than 10,000 sides?? User 66.245.30.47

My topology professor would define a circle as a polygon with infinite sides. By the way, I'm removing the comment someone wrote into the article.

Only geeks know this. but the Megagon has 1,000,000

From Ancient Greek (names for these large numbers were given by Archimedes) I'd expect decakismyriagon for {10⁵}, hecatontakismyriagon for {10⁶}, chiliakismyriagon for {10⁷}, and myriakismyriagon for {10⁸}. Double sharp (talk) 06:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Polygon category

Wikipedia's articles are currently being classified into categories. What category can the polygons go into?? 66.245.66.197 14:00, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Non-mathematical

I'm removing the statement about it appearing to be a circle if not zoomed far enough. First of all, "zoomed" is an extremely ambiguous word. But secondly, its altogether non-mathematical. It could even be calassified as an opinion. I would only see a statement of that typeapplied factually when considering manifolds, which can be factually shown to be falt at the local level. -- He Who Is^{[ Talk ]} 22:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you say "The more sides a polygon has, there more likely for it to appear a circlar shape" or something like that? Androo123 (talk) 19:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I have always felt that as you add more and more sides to a polygon; you start to encounter diminishing returns as the shape starts to look more and more like a circle. Even an icosagon looks like a circle if drawn small. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.245.229 (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Degrees

Each angle is 179.964?! 179.964 * 10000 = 1799640^o? 1799640^o is not 360^o. i'm confused.

The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is (n-2)180, where n is the number of sides. 360^o is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.OMG! It's Teh Pampas Cat! 16:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The sum of the interior angles is 179.964 because there is 9998 triangles contcruted inside a Myriagon. Each triangle, when all angles of each side is sumed up, comes to 180. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Androo123 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Polygon

This topic has insufficient notable content to deserve its own article. There are no references or citations. I propose that it be merged into Polygon. Any opinions for or against? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Inscribed myriagon perimeter compared to the area of its circumscribed circle quotation needed.

The polygon pages that show polygons with so many sides try to compare the polygons to a circle.

The inscribed chiliagon differs from the area of its circumscribed circle by less than 4 parts per million, the inscribed 65537-gon differs from the area of its circumscribed circle by 14 parts per billion. So since 1000 x 10 = 10000, the inscribed myriagon would differ from the area of its circumscribed circle by up to 40 parts per billion.

Clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.249.199 (talk) 04:32, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
