What is a 7 sided shape?
In geometry, a heptagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the septagon, using “sept-” (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix; both are cognate) together with the Greek suffix “-agon” meaning angle.

hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning “six”, and γωνία, gonía, meaning “corner, angle”) is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°.

What’s a 9 sided shape called?
nonagon
It has nine straight sides that meet at nine corners. The word nonagon comes from the Latin word “nona”, meaning nine, and “gon”, meaning sides. So it literally means “nine sided shape”. Nonagons are also called enneagon, which comes from the Greek word “enneagonon”, which means “nine corners”.

Which figures are polygons?
Polygons are many-sided figures, with sides that are line segments. Polygons are named according to the number of sides and angles they have. The most familiar polygons are the triangle, the rectangle, and the square. A regular polygon is one that has equal sides.

What are the types of polygons?
Polygons are of two types: Regular and irregular polygon. If all the sides and angles of a polygon are equal, then the polygon is called a regular polygon, otherwise it is called an irregular polygon.
