          A circle has one edge/side, that is grade-school geometry. There is no reason to engender confusion by trying to make it into a polygon or introducing infinity. Your model of shapes does not seem to account for curved edges.

          Consider a stereotypical pizza slice. One might plainly say that it is a “like a triangle but one edge is curved” without falling into a philosophical abyss. :)
