The longest common shape name is often considered Rhombicosidodecahedron, a complex Archimedean solid with 62 faces (20 triangles, 30 squares, 12 pentagons), but even longer, more obscure names exist like Gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron or variations, reflecting incredibly detailed polyhedra in geometry.
A regular megagon is represented by the Schläfli symbol {1,000,000} and can be constructed as a truncated 500,000-gon, t{500,000}, a twice-truncated 250,000-gon, tt{250,000}, a thrice-truncated 125,000-gon, ttt{125,000}, or a four-fold-truncated 62,500-gon, tttt{62,500}, a five-fold-truncated 31,250-gon, ttttt{31,250}, ...
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. This is a 36-letter word which is considered one of the longest words. Ironically, it refers to the fear of long words. This word is not usually found in dictionaries.
(geometry) A polygon with a googol number of sides (virtually indistinguishable from a circle)
The megagon is a polygon with a million sides. A regular megagon has equal sides and equal angles. The perimeter of a regular unit megagon can approximate pi to the 12th digit.
In geometry, a chiliagon (/ˈkɪliəɡɒn/) or 1,000-gon is a polygon with 1,000 sides. Philosophers commonly refer to chiliagons to illustrate ideas about the nature and workings of thought, meaning, and mental representation.
A polygon with 1 billion sides is called a gigagon.
Torus. A torus (plural: tori or toruses) is a tube shape that looks like a doughnut or an inner tube. In geometry, a torus is made by rotating a circle in three dimensional space. To make a torus, the circle is rotated around a line (called the axis of rotation) that is in the same plane as the circle.
In geometry, the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U67. It has 62 faces (20 triangles, 30 squares and 12 pentagrams), 120 edges, and 60 vertices. It is also called the quasirhombicosidodecahedron.
U28 The truncated icosidodecahedron is also known as the great rhombicosidodecahedron, and if a set of all 13 Archimedean solids were constructed with all edge lengths equal, the truncated icosidodecahedron would be the largest. It has more vertices and edges than any other convex nonprismatic uniform polyhedron.
The longest personal name has 2,253 unique words and belongs to Laurence Watkins (Australia) in Auckland, New Zealand, as of 8 March 1990. This record first appeared in the 1992 edition of Guinness World Records. Laurence, born Laurence Gregory Watkins in New Zealand, changed his name via Deed Poll at the age of 24.
In geometry, the rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid with 26 faces, consisting of 8 equilateral triangles and 18 squares.
Gigagon. The gigagon is a polygon with a billion sides.
A digon as a face of a polyhedron is degenerate because it is a degenerate polygon, but sometimes it can have a useful topological existence in transforming polyhedra.
A 7 sided shape is called a heptagon or a septagon. The 7 sides of the shape can either be equal or unequal. When the shape has its 7 sides equal, it is called a regular heptagon.
The debate over whether hexagons should be referred to as "sexagons" has its roots in the etymology of the term. The prefix "hex-" originates from the Greek word "hex," meaning six, while "sex-" comes from the Latin "sex," also signifying six.
Yes, Google is a misspelling of "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin chose to represent the vast amount of information they aimed to organize. The name stuck after a friend, Sean Anderson, accidentally typed "google.com" instead of "googol.com" while checking domain availability, and Page liked the sound of the misspelled word.
Most commonly, length is based on orthography (conventional spelling rules) and counting the number of written letters. Alternate, but less common, approaches include phonology (the spoken language) and the number of phonemes (sounds).
Aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic (52 letters) In the 17th century, Dr. Edward Strother coined the 52-letter word aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic. The word is used to describe the spa waters in Bath, England.
Yes, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is considered a real word because it's in major dictionaries like the Oxford English Dictionary, though it originated as a nonsense word popularized by Mary Poppins, meaning something to say when you don't know what to say, or an expression of excitement and approval. It's a compound of parts meaning "above," "beauty," "delicate," "to atone," and "educable," but its primary definition is a joyful exclamation.
