Polygons are named based on the number of sides (or angles) they possess.
While the provided reference only mentioned polygons with 3 to 10 sides, let's create a more comprehensive table for naming polygons.
| Number of Sides | Prefix | Polygon Name |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Tri- | Triangle |
| 4 | Tetra- / Quad- | Quadrilateral |
| 5 | Penta- | Pentagon |
| 6 | Hexa- | Hexagon |
| 7 | Hepta- | Heptagon |
| 8 | Octa- | Octagon |
| 9 | Nona- | Nonagon |
| 10 | Deca- | Decagon |
| 11 | Undeca- / Hendeca- | Undecagon/Hendecagon |
| 12 | Dodeca- | Dodecagon |
| 13 | Trideca- | Tridecagon |
| 14 | Tetradeca- | Tetradecagon |
| 15 | Pentadeca- | Pentadecagon |
| 16 | Hexadeca- | Hexadecagon |
| 17 | Heptadeca- | Heptadecagon |
| 18 | Octadecagon- | Octadecagon |
| 19 | Enneadecagon- | Enneadecagon |
| 20 | Icosa- | Icosagon |
| n | n-gon | n-gon |
For polygons with a large number of sides, you can use the generic term "n-gon", where 'n' represents the number of sides. For example, a polygon with 47 sides would be called a 47-gon.
