How many sides does a circle have?
>>
2, the inside and the outside

how can you not see this?

So a square has 8 sides?

aight lol
>>
>>8268691
Infinity-agon

>>8268691
Infinite. All points are both the beginning and the end, and between all points a new point can be added.

I find this very unsatisfying and borderline abhorrent, as such a definition might as well say it is a thing that does not have sides. In this sense, the only thing infinite is my utter disgust.

Infinite disgust.

Depends on what you define as a "side". I mean, most circles don't come with fries or cole slaw, so there's no sides from the restaurant standpoint.
>>
>>8269098
My favorite are the meat circles. And personally i go with 3 sides: macaroni salad, rice, and fries.
>>
If if we subtract the points of an apeirogon from a circle, what do we get?
>>
>>8268691
Infinity, obviously. Only way to be a true circle.
>>
0 sides. There are no edges. Some will say infinite but as soon as the polygon becomes completely smooth, it has 0 sides
>>
usually between 3 and 7 depending on how big the circle is
>>
>>8268691
Are true circles able to exist in reality and/or be recreated by humans? I don't think they are
>>
2. coins have two sides, coins are circles, and you already know how the rest goes
>>
>>8269376
>>
>>8269391
that literally will never and has never been able to draw a true circle
>>
Two. Inside and outside.
>>
360, each degree is a side

please leave this board and never come back my god

>>8268924
A square has an inside and an outside too. What are the other 6 you're thinking of?
>>
>>8269432
I think he was joking mate. It's not even a fancy electronic one.
>>
>>8269432
Why do you hate your life, anon?
>>
>>8268937
The "sides" of a circle have 0 length so they are not considered as such
>>
>>8269723
They better be.
>>
idk anon i see a chiliagon there :^)
>>
how many sides does a line have?
>>
>>8268691
what is the taste of chocolate divided by 2?
what is this god damn question
sides = multiple seperate stright lines
circle = continues round line
>>
>>8268702
What about the top side, dipshit?
>>
>>8269101
>the three awful sides

Bro, its coleslaw, baked potato and fried egg (under easy)
>>
>>8268691
My sides
>>
A circle has infinite sides due to having infinite points. A line can be smaller then a Planck and still be considered a side, and even smaller. That's why you can't see a straight line on a perfect circle
>>
I vote 1 side.
>>
>>8268691
depends on the used triangulation
>>
>>8268691
front side and back side. are you retarderd?
>>
>>8268937
>>8269098
>>8269723

The most logical definition of a side (normally called a face) is a maximal convex subset of the boundary, in which case a circle has infinite sides.

You could require a face of a set to have one affine dimension less than the set but that's dumb. Such faces exist for polytopes but not other sets necessarily.
>>
It's one side goddammit
>>
>>8268691
Define what a side is.
>>
>>8270008

>>8268691
There are no straight lines that make up a circle.

0

We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong there is no right
The circle only has one side
>>
>>8269376
No. not even if you drew it out of atoms
>>
>>8268691
zero sides

anyone who says otherwise is an idiot
>>
>>8270343
HAHA UPBOATED!

>use a pen
>use a flat surface

Keep your mouth shut undergrad faggot

>>8270386
ironic

A regular polygon approaches a circle as the number of sides approaches infinity.
>>
>>8270405
A circle has no sides.

Holy shit anon I'm dying, that was the stupidest thing I've seen posted all summer

check out the arts student

>>8269398
By the same logic there is no such thing as a true anything.
>>
>>8271364
well, as far as geometric concepts go, yes
>>
>>8269376
>Are true circles able to exist in reality
Why is this worth discussing?
>>
>>8271388
rhetoric question, mate
>>
A circle having infinite sides is about as logical as saying .9repeating == 1
>pro tip, it doesn't equal 1
