    Recently a stupid question popped into my mind as always it does. I want to know the reason why is it considered the circle has only one side. I mean if we think deep into the question, how can we say it only has one side for a curved shape like a circle ? circle is a shape with two dimensional figure formed by joining infinite points around of a certain given point with constant distance. right ? the triangle is the simplest polygon that can be drawn with connecting three edges. and if we apply more edges into the triangle one by one and it becomes into a different shape with different name(4 edges- Squire, 5 edges-Pentagon, 6 edges- Hexagon...….., Heptagon, Octagon, Nanagan, Decagon... and infinite edges would be the Circle). I think that's why Pi doesn't have a constant value after the decimal point. it is dividing towards the Infinite without repeating it self or without any pattern. what do you think guys ? :D

    The apeirogon is an extension of the definition of regular polygon to a figure with an infinite number of sides. It's derived from the Greek word Aperios ἄπειρος” which means infinite or boundless. Apeirogons are the two-dimensional case of infinite polytopes.

    A circle has 0 sides. Check the definition of a side/edge.

    @AnuradhaRa උබට වගේම මටත් කාලෙකට කලින් හිතුණ ලොකු ප්‍රශ්ණයක්.
    @dilann මෙයා කියන එක හරිද?
    මට හිතා ගන්න අමාරුයි

    pi අනන්ත දශම සංඛ්‍යාවක් වුණේ ඒක නිසා වෙන්න බෑ මම හිතන්නෙ
