Shape Sides And Corners Calculator

Work out shape sides and corners instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Shape Sides And Corners Calculator

Every polygon has as many corners as sides, so the totals are simply sides-per-shape multiplied by the number of shapes; a circle contributes none of either. Counting sides and corners across a group of shapes is early multiplication in disguise, and the circle case teaches that not every shape has vertices.

Formula

Totals

total sides = sides per shape x number of shapes; corners = sides for any polygon

Worked example

With the default values below, Shape Sides And Corners Calculator returns Total sides of 24. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to whole numbers, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Shape Sides And Corners figure worked out?

total sides = sides per shape x number of shapes; corners = sides for any polygon. Every polygon has as many corners as sides, so the totals are simply sides-per-shape multiplied by the number of shapes; a circle contributes none of either.

Why does this matter?

Counting sides and corners across a group of shapes is early multiplication in disguise, and the circle case teaches that not every shape has vertices.

What do I need to enter?

Enter shape, how many of them. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
