I want to draw a polygon with 17 sides by using only the compasses and an unscaled ruler...however, many times i tried, I just managed to draw a polygon with 23 sides...any site?
Maybe it would be good that you show us your steps, and we may verify it for you. :)Mafer said:I'm sure it's a 23 sided...because I drew the things about twenty times and all end up with 23 and not 17...
anyone can tell me what's wrong? Is there something I might forgotten?
A polygon is a closed shape made up of straight line segments. It is a two-dimensional shape with three or more sides.
A polygon with 17 sides has 17 straight sides.
Yes, it is possible to draw a polygon with 17 sides. However, it may be difficult to draw it accurately by hand without the use of tools such as a protractor or compass.
A polygon with 17 sides is called a heptadecagon.
To draw a polygon with 17 sides, you can use a protractor or compass to measure and mark the angles and sides accurately. Alternatively, you can use a computer software or app to create a precise and symmetrical polygon with 17 sides.
