Infinite. Because the length of the sides, to me, basically approaches zero. Therefore uncountable.

 
We actually got this as an extra credit assignment in high school geometry class. Bisecting sides of a polygon up to, I think it was, 96 sides. Ends up looking about like a circle. How he taught us that a circle is simply a polygon with an infinite number of sides.
