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.
A centered nonagonal number (or centered enneagonal number) is a centered figurate number that represents a nonagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center dot in successive nonagonal layers. The centered nonagonal number for n layers is given by the formula [1]

The area of a self-intersecting polygon can be defined in two different ways, giving different answers: Using the formulas for simple polygons, we allow that particular regions within the polygon may have their area multiplied by a factor which we call the density of the region. For example, the central convex pentagon in the center of a ...
Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane.

A nonagonal number, or an enneagonal number, is a figurate number that extends the concept of triangular and square numbers to the nonagon (a nine-sided polygon). [1] However, unlike the triangular and square numbers, the patterns involved in the construction of nonagonal numbers are not rotationally symmetrical.
Apothem of a hexagon Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6. The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo [1]) of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides.
