Is a circle a regular shape or an irregular shape?

 


Hi there.

Regular means predictable, with the fewest possible variations. So yes, a circle is about as regular as a shape can be. You can define a circle with just a center and a radius. Compare this, for example, to the shape of a human body, which would be rather irregular, requiring a lot of information to describe it fully.

Hope this helps,
