Just had to share this, some engineers and math geeks should get a kick out of it.

I would have said infinite.

There is no circle.

Is it a 3D circle. You could say front and back in that case.

triangle = 3 sides
rectangle = 4 sides
pentagon = 5 sides
hexagon = 6 sides
number of sides approaches infinity
circle = infinite sides

I don’t know about all that, but a cylinder has 3 surfaces.

From Quora:

"A circle is an infinitely long line. There are only two sides of any line. Therefore the Circle has only TWO sides. Philosophically, the two sides represent what is contained within the circle (One Side) and what is contained outside the circle (Second Side)."

We were always told a circle has no sides, but then I went to school when the knowledge imbedded in our brains was normal, and didn't consist of 2+2=5.

Start working on a Moebius Strip.

Draw a line down the middle then get scissors and cut the surface in half. Do it again.

2: Inside and outside. A 2-dimensional representation of a continuous arc does not have “sides” on its edge - it has tangents.

However, this is ore of an English reasoning problem than an Elementary math problem.

Take an 8 sided object with equal sides. Then double it. As you keep on doubling it the distance around the perimeter approaches 2 pi * r so with that I’d say it’s infinite sides.

It’s not inclusive therefore inappropriate to say that there are 2 sides the inside and the outside and they never intersect.

How many toes does a circle have? How many cats does a mule have? How many Martians make up a quorum?

Circles don’t have sides. The question is . . uh . . just stupid.

It depends on how hungry you are at the time—usually, I go for two sides, but if i’m going to have a larger meal later for dinner, say, I’d five go with one side or sometimes none (0)…

‘each point would be a side’ ... and you have a BS in Math? LOL it takes TWO points to determine a line thus it takes two points to determine the location of a side.

Well you could start with a triangle, then draw a square, then a pentagon, etc. As you approach an infinite amount of sides, you could find the limit.
