Does a circle have 360 sides or 1

@Mordi lol

@MalteseFalconPunch Well, I guess because it's a single continuous curve with no corners.

@OggggO yes I think a side is defined as multiple straight lines coneecting at many points that form a shape for example a square has four sides or four straight lines connecting at four points. Where a circle ⭕️ has no straight lines just one curved line so if curved lines count as a side then I’d say one but otherwise if a side should be a straight line then I’d say zero sides

@OggggO unless it a trick question if each 1 degree of the circle counts as a side with a curved line connecting at the 1 degree points then it would be 360 sides by I doubt it , then again some questions require free thought outside the box of the choices given

@marava that's not an option on the worksheet

it should be

@xLily They didn't ask us questions like that when I was in school. Lol :)

@NankerPhelge lucky 😩

@xLily Yeah, if they'd asked such a question in 1974 I might not have got 100% in my maths exam that year. Lol :)

@xLily @xLily I think it's undetermined and the answer is X they may be giving you two answers to see if you're smart enough to know they are both wrong

??? You've lost me lol

There is no answer because there's no determined size of the circle it could have any number of sides it drove me crazy and that's the best answer I could get off Google that make sense

@xLily The 360 thing is just the number of degrees we have semi-arbitrarily declared they have. It was picked because it's evenly divisible into several common fractions, such as halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, and tenths. It has no special significance of it's own.

@OggggO R. Buckminster Fuller says that a circle is a polygon with a very high number of sides, that only looks round because the sides are too small to see.

@Lila15 well maybe on paper, but our definition of a circle is mostly in our heads where it is perfectly round, even if it is impossible for that to be in real life

@SatyrService yeah that's the question. Thanks

@wakanda4eva circles have no sides lmao

@SW-User meh it's hard to know for sure

@wakanda4eva 😂😁

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP 360 is the number of degrees in a circle. Degrees are not "sides".
