How many sides does an Icosagon have?
In geometry, an icosagon or 20-gon is a twenty-sided polygon. The sum of any icosagon's interior angles is 3240 degrees.
Examples of icosagons in real life:
The Big Wheel on the popular US game show The Price Is Right has an icosagonal cross-section.
The Globe, the outdoor theater used by William Shakespeare's acting company, was discovered to have been built on an icosagonal foundation when a partial excavation was done in 1989.

Well, 3 sides is a triangle, 4 sides is a quadrangle, and 8 is an Octagon, so it had to be 20.

“Icosa” is not a prefix I have dealt with in the past and was not aware of the presence of a 20:sided polygon

Another no-brainer since we all know what the others are.

It happened again....tithe answer was there before i had chosen my answer.....NOT NICE.

Not familiar with the term, but easy enough through process of elimination.

Icosagon from the Greek Εικοσαγωνος meaning having 20 sides

budderdudder, 4 aides is tetragone not quadrangle

Wyla Reedy, presumably the universe may have .....?

As an aside, none of the diagrams were of any type of polygon.

Looks like a wavy circle. "20-gon" does make it simpler.

Can an object have an infinite number of sides ?
Michael Brain
Like the shape icosahedron

John W Shreve, Or the highest or second lowest....one of the four, anyway !

John W Shreve, nice imitation.
