Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides, combining a Greek-derived numerical prefix with the suffix -gon, e.g. pentagon, dodecagon. The triangle, quadrilateral and nonagon are exceptions, although the regular forms trigon, tetragon, and enneagon are sometimes encountered as well.
Because 10,000 = 2 4 × 5 4, the number of sides is neither a product of distinct Fermat primes nor a power of two. Thus the regular myriagon is not a constructible polygon . Indeed, it is not even constructible with the use of an angle trisector, as the number of sides is neither a product of distinct Pierpont primes , nor a product of powers ...
In geometry, the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has a total of 62 faces: 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, with 60 vertices, and 120 edges.
A teragon is a polygon with an infinite number of sides, the most famous example being the Koch snowflake ("triadic Koch teragon"). [dubious – discuss] The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot from the words Classical Greek τέρας (teras, monster) + γωνία (gōnía, corner). [2]
A partition of the Euclidean line into infinitely many equal-length segments can be understood as a regular apeirogon. In geometry, an apeirogon (from Ancient Greek ἄπειρος apeiros 'infinite, boundless' and γωνία gonia 'angle') or infinite polygon is a polygon with an infinite number of sides.
Megagon - 1,000,000 sides; Star polygon – there are multiple types of stars Pentagram - star polygon with 5 sides; Hexagram – star polygon with 6 sides Star of David (example) Heptagram – star polygon with 7 sides; Octagram – star polygon with 8 sides Star of Lakshmi (example) Enneagram - star polygon with 9 sides; Decagram - star ...
In geometry, a polygon (/ ˈ p ɒ l ɪ ɡ ɒ n /) is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain. The segments of a closed polygonal chain are called its edges or sides. The points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. An n-gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3 ...
