POLYGONS

In geometry a henagon (or monogon) is a polygon with one edge and one vertex. It has Schlfli symbol {1}. Since a henagon has only one side and only one vertex, every henagon is regular by definition.

In geometry, a digon or 2-gon is a polygon with two sides (edges) and two vertices. It is degenerate in a Euclidean space, but may be non-degenerate in a spherical space as a pair of 180 degree arcs connecting antipodal points.

A triangle is one of the basic shapes in geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments.

In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (or edges) and four vertices or corners. Sometimes, the term quadrangleis used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on. The origin of the word "quadrilateral" is the two Latin words quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning "side."

pentagon The simplest polygon which can exist as a regular star. A star pentagon is known as a pentagram or pentacle.

In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek hex, "six" and , gona, "corner, angle") is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. A regular hexagon has Schlfli symbol {6}. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720.

In geometry, a heptagon is a polygon with seven sides and seven angles. In a regular heptagon, in which all sides and all angles are equal, the sides meet at an angle of 5/7 radians, 128.5714286 degrees. Its Schlfli symbol is {7}. The area (A) of a regular heptagon of side length a is given by

The heptagon is also occasionally referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather thanhepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle). In geometry, an octagon (from the Greek oktgnon, "eight angles") is a regular polygon that has eight sides. A regular octagon is represented by the Schlfli symbol .

In geometry, a nonagon /nnn/ (or enneagon /nin/) is a nine-sided regular polygon. 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 name "enneagon" comes from Greek enneagonon (, "nine" + (from = "corner")), and is arguably more correct, though somewhat less common than "nonagon". The heptagon is also occasionally referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather thanhepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle).

In geometry, a decagon is any polygon with ten sides and ten angles, and usually refers to a regular decagon, having all sides of equal length and each internal angle equal to 144. Its Schlfli symbol is {10}.

In geometry, a hendecagon (also undecagon ) is an 11sided polygon. (The name hendecagon, from Greek hendeka "eleven" and gon "corner", is often preferred to the hybrid undecagon, whose first syllable un is Latin for "one".

In geometry, a dodecagon is any polygon with twelve sides and twelve angles.

In geometry, a tridecagon (or triskaidecagon) is a polygon with 13 sides and angles.

In geometry, a tetradecagon (or tetrakaidecagon) is a polygon with 14 sides and angles.

In geometry, a pentadecagon (or pentakaidecagon) is any 15sided, 15-angled, polygon.

In mathematics, a hexadecagon (sometimes called a hexakaidecagon) is a polygon with 16 sides and 16 vertices.

In geometry, a heptadecagon (or 17-gon) is a seventeensided polygon.

An octadecagon is a polygon with 18 sides and 18 vertices. Another name for an octadecagon is octakaidecagon.

In geometry, an enneadecagon is a polygon with 19 sides and angles. It is also known as an enneakaidecagon or a nonadecagon.

In geometry, an icosagon is a twenty-sided polygon. The sum of any icosagon's interior angles is 3240 degrees. One interior angle in a regular icosagon is 162, meaning that one exterior angle would be 18. The regular icosagon is a constructible polygon, by an edgebisection of a regular decagon, and can be seen as a truncated decagon.
