what is the name for a 32 sided polygon?

Question

My friend needs to know so PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

The first answerer probably Googled for thirty-two and polygon and may have gotten this site:

http://www.gomath.com/Questions/question.php?question=13451

from which one can see that it is called a triacontakaidigon.

I am familiar with Latin prefixes, which are used to describe huge numbers with -illion names. For example a googol is ten 3x(3x32)type of -illion, which, using the Latin prefix, is ten duotrigintillion. So this site gives us what the corresponding Greek prefixes should be. So I find this a good learning experience. I now know where the term triskaidecaphobia comes from - fear of the number 13.

I am familiar with some Greek names from polyhedra. They are named like polygons except with -hedron instead of -gon. For example, a 20-sided polyhedron is an icosahedron. A 90-sided one made up of rhombuses is a rhombic enneacontahedron, such as at http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/zonohedra-info.html (I made one of these by weaving together 10 strips of paper).

So now if I encounter a 42-sided polyhedron, I will now know what to call it. It's a tetracontakaidihedron.

Answer 3

32 Sided Polygon

Answer 4

Following conventions, it would be an icosidodecagon. However, most mathmaticians opt for "32-side polygon" for anything above 10 sides (decagon).

Answer 5

Huh? I think they just call it a "32-sided polygon." After the sides become numerous enough, it's just a polygon, not a specific shape.
