How many sides has a circle?

[The Resonte!]

but can't we pretend that a curved line counts as a side :(

we don't chase delusions here

Seven. NO More no LEss

Seven. NO More no LEss

I must say this is wrong. The only shape that fits that is the X. The amount of sides on an X are seven.

wait the first pic is broken how will i know what was there

You wouldn't believe me if i told u

The number approaches infinity. If you choose a point on the surface of it, where do you draw the other end? You can always add another point closer to the start. This is brown townogical to a supertask. Let's assume you try to complete a 30 feet/meter race. It takes 3 seconds to go the first foot/meter, 3 seconds to go half of the previous distance and over and over it goes. When do you reach the finish line? What we can be sure of is that you do reach the finish line, but the time it takes will be a big fat theoretical infinity.

someone has been watching vsauce eh?
also the point here is that it doesnt take a "big fat theoretical" (and i disprove this use of words) infinity, but a finite amount of time (the sum of all reciprocals of positive powers of 2 is precisely 1)

A circle are unlimited dots at the same distance away from its center.

a square has infinite points too so that explanation is pretty poor, and besides it doesn't even help define any "sides"

pretty much the only real answer is that a circle is infact not a polygon, and thus has undefined amount of sides

i mean if you were to like approximate it really hard, a circle CAN be defined as the limit of n-sided regular polygons and thus has infinitesimal sides but i dont really know enough topology to argue this

using the power of google i have concluded that the latter is not a proper explanation as that is actually an apeirogon, not a circle.

a circle doesn't have infinite points or sides, it has none of either, cus it's a circle
