Hello there!
This is a great question! In fact, there is no largest sided polygon,
just as there is no largest counting number. If you give me any
number, no matter how big (just as long as it doesn't have fractions
in it; it has to be a whole number), I can make a polygon with that
number of sides.
I hope you keep thinking about questions like this!
