Does a circle have infinite edges or no edges?

More seriously, infinite limits are tricky things, since the set of points which define a circle are infinitely close together, there is no edge between them, so from that perspective a circle has 0 sides.

Does a circle have 0 corners or infinite?

A circle is defined as the set of points equidistant from a fixed point, the center. A vertex (corner) is the intersection of two line segments. A circle could be described as a smooth curve, but it has no straight lines, and thus it does not have any corners.

Do circles have edge?

In our primary education resources, we say that a circle has one curved side. However, it is also possible to challenge older children with the concept that a circle has an infinite amount of straight sides.

Is a circle a true shape?

A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of the set of points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any of the points and the centre is called the radius.

Is a circle infinite?

The circle is the symbol for infinity, because the circle is endless, and may be considered a polygon with an infinite number of sides.

Does circle have infinite sides?

It might be more defensible to say that a circle has infinitely many corners than infinitely many sides (although this is not a question that seems to get asked very often). Every point on the boundary of the circle is an extreme point, so it is certainly true that a circle has infinitely many.

Is the circle infinite?

Do perfect circles exist?

With apologies to 1990s alt-rock fans, a perfect circle cannot exist outside the realm of mathematics. From subatomic particles to carefully built structures, nothing in the physical world passes the perfect circle test, where every point on the circumference is exactly equidistant from the circle’s center.

Is it possible to draw a perfect circle?

Drawing a perfect circle by hand is impossible. The human brain doesn’t have the precision or resources to draw an ever curving circle by hand. Until someone discovers the exact value of π, perfect circles will remain a mathematical concept only possible as an idea.
