A three-sided figure is a triangle, a four-sided, a quadrilateral, a five-sided figure, a pentagon. From there on up it’s something-gon (hexagon, heptagon, etc.). So why isn’t a four-sided figure called “quadrigon”? There’s “trigon” in “trigonometry”, so why isn’t a three-sided figure called a “trigon”.

Why do math majors get bank loans easily? Because they can cosine for themselves.

Did you hear about the math major that divided himself by two but before he could get squared away the vice squad pinched him? Naughty buggers.

Equilateral triangles have three sides that are equal (since lateral refers to the sides).
What else do equilateral triangles have that are equal? (Try “angles”)

The penant providers could be obtuse at times.
