Numerical prefixes can be used to construct words that refer to a specific quantity of something. For example, in chemistry, carbon dioxide refers to a molecule containing two (di) oxygen atoms. A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four (tetra) identical faces. A pentagram is a five-pointed star figure. The following numerical prefix are from the Greek language: *1. mono- *2. di- *3. tri- *4. tetra- *5. penta- *6. hexa- *7. hepta- *8. octa- *9. ennea- *10. deca- *11. hendeca *12. dodeca- *13. triskaideka- *20. icosa- *21. icosakaihena *30. triconta *40. tetraconta *50. pentaconta *60. hexaconta *70. heptaconta *80. octaconta *90. enneaconta *100. hecta- *1000. chilia- (''ch'' pronounced /k/ in English) *10,000. myria- In practice, people often use the Latin prefixes ''nona'' and "undeca" for 9 and 11 instead of the Greek ''ennea'' and "hendeca". Prefixes above 12 are not commonly used, except 20 in icosahedron, 100 in hectare, and 1000 in the metric system. === See Also=== *Latin numerical prefixes Prefixes
