These words have been making me mad. Memorise them and their followings are difficult for me.
Hi Bookaholic,
What do you mean by ‘what comes after’ these?
freshman - sophomore (don’t know what comes after sophomore)
encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Polygons (look under “polygon names”)
PS:
heptuple - I don’t even know what it means.
Oh, do you mean the next in the sequence?
Freshman— 9th grade / 1st year
Sophomore— 10th grade / 2nd year
Junior— 11th grade / 3rd year
Senior— 12th grade / 4th year
Hexagon - 6 sided shape.
Heptagon (or occasionally septagon) - 7 sided shape.
Octagon - 8 sided shape.
Nonagon - 9 sided shape.
Decagon - 10 sided shape.
Hendecagon - 11 sided shape.
Dodecagon - 12 sided shape.
I’ve never heard the word ‘heptuple’. Do you mean ‘septuple’? (Consisting of 7 parts.) Octuple would be next.
Oh thank you all. I wrote heptuple just because I had thought hepta means seven as in heptagon!
Hepta is Greek, septem is Latin.
Both mean seven? Amen! I have no more post-its here! Please forgive me, God.
Hope that our great scientists will invent a device helping people to learn everything in a short while.
