How many sides does a circle has.

@Jackaloftheazuresand What's your reasoning to arrive at this ?

@Mohana the front and back

@Jackaloftheazuresand Then a triangle has to have 6 sides.

@Jackaloftheazuresand It's 2D though, not like a coin

@Mohana In this case a face is called a side so a triangle would also be two

@BeefySenpie that just means there is no depth between the sides. It is physically impossible to create a depthless object so any representation is theoretical, in such a situation flipping is allowed

@Jackaloftheazuresand Correct. The third dimension of a two dimensional object is merely assumed and has no derivative.

@BeefySenpie That's right!

@Jackaloftheazuresand That's a good point. But @Nothingness has addressed it :)

@Jackaloftheazuresand Also you cannot assume the angle of a third dimensional side of a two dimensional object as the angle would technically have a value of absolute zero since the dimension does not exist. This also defies the definition of a side per the definition outlined in geometry.

@Jackaloftheazuresand An angle with a value of absolute zero is not an angle at all and a geometric side must have a line and two angles.

@DarkHeaven That's a very interesting point. Thank you :) I have to think over it.

@DarkHeaven but a 3D version of a circle is a sphere not a cylinder

@DarkHeaven explain a tesseract then ;)

@TopCat A 3D version of a circle is nothing until we have vectored the 3D points somewhere. You are assuming that this is a perfect 3d circle and vectored as such. That is very assumptive and has not been stated as such anywhere in this thread. Much of the variance in answers stem in the ambiguity of terms used and what methodology is being used. Are we defining a circle as a function, a concept, or a riddle (more of a philosophical question at that point.) We still have no answers either way.

@ozgirl512 *giggle* After all of this trouble and ambiguity, you are seriously going to add in an entire fourth dimension. lol

The term of a side is still highly ambiguous, so there is no answer.
To be fair, we honestly need a precise definition of face, edge and vertex, and an answer isn't really sensible without such definitions.

@Jackaloftheazuresand I would phrase it as inside and outside however I am open to the different perspective
