Is there a 20 sided shape?

Solution

Explaining if there is a 20 sided shape:

Yes, there is a polygon with 20 sides. In geometry, a 20 sided shape, i.e. 2d shape is called an icosagon.

The interior angle of the icosagon is given by: 180n-2n

For n=20, each interior angle is:

18020-2209×18162°

The sum of all the interior angles of an icosagon is3240degrees.

An icosagon with all equal sides is called a regular icosagon.

Since polygons start at only three sides but can go up to infinity. So, there is no limit to how many sides a polygon can have. Therefore, we can say that a polygon with 20 sides is definitely possible without any second thoughts.

Therefore, there is a shape with 20 sides.
