In geometry, a nonagon (/ ˈ n ɒ n ə ɡ ɒ n /) or enneagon (/ ˈ ɛ n i ə ɡ ɒ n /) is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon. The name nonagon is a prefix hybrid formation , from Latin ( nonus , "ninth" + gonon ), used equivalently, attested already in the 16th century in French nonogone and in English from the 17th century.
The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles.In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180(n–2k)°, where n is the number of vertices, and the strictly positive integer k is the number of total (360 ...
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either convex or star .
Exterior angle – The exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle. Tracing around a convex n -gon, the angle "turned" at a corner is the exterior or external angle. Tracing all the way around the polygon makes one full turn , so the sum of the exterior angles must be 360°.
A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two of the edges meet are the ...
In geometry, an icositetragon (or icosikaitetragon) or 24-gon is a twenty-four-sided polygon. The sum of any icositetragon's interior angles is 3960 degrees. The sum of any icositetragon's interior angles is 3960 degrees.
The regular 65537-gon (one with all sides equal and all angles equal) is of interest for being a constructible polygon: that is, it can be constructed using a compass and an unmarked straightedge. This is because 65,537 is a Fermat prime , being of the form 2 2 n + 1 (in this case n = 4).
1-uniform tilings include 3 regular tilings, and 8 semiregular ones, with 2 or more types of regular polygon faces. There are 20 2-uniform tilings, 61 3-uniform tilings, 151 4-uniform tilings, 332 5-uniform tilings and 673 6-uniform tilings. Each can be grouped by the number m of distinct vertex figures, which are also called m-Archimedean tilings.
