    [2]: p. 1 They could also construct half of a given angle, a square whose area is twice that of another square, a square having the same area as a given polygon, and regular polygons of 3, 4, or 5 sides [2]: p. xi (or one with twice the number of sides of a given polygon [2]: pp. 49–50 ).

  3. Hex map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_map

    By comparison, in a square grid map, the distance from the center of each square cell to the center of the four diagonal adjacent cells it shares a corner with is √ 2 times that of the distance to the center of the four adjacent cells it shares an edge with. This equidistant property of all adjacent hexes is desirable for games in which the ...

  4. Hexagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagon

    A regular skew hexagon seen as edges (black) of a triangular antiprism, symmetry D 3d, [2 +,6], (2*3), order 12. A skew hexagon is a skew polygon with six vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such a hexagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag hexagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes.

  5. Dodecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecagon

    Three squares of sides R can be cut and rearranged into a dodecagon of circumradius R, yielding a proof without words that its area is 3R 2. A regular dodecagon is a figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has twelve lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 12.

  6. Constructible polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon

    The number of Fermat primes involved can be 0, in which case n is a power of 2. In order to reduce a geometric problem to a problem of pure number theory , the proof uses the fact that a regular n -gon is constructible if and only if the cosine cos ⁡ ( 2 π / n ) {\displaystyle \cos(2\pi /n)} is a constructible number —that is, can be ...

  7. Polyhex (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhex_(mathematics)

    One example self-tiling with a pentahex. All of the polyhexes with fewer than five hexagons can form at least one regular plane tiling. In addition, the plane tilings of the dihex and straight polyhexes are invariant under 180 degrees rotation or reflection parallel or perpendicular to the long axis of the dihex (order 2 rotational and order 4 reflection symmetry), and the hexagon tiling and ...

  8. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

    The honeycomb conjecture states that hexagonal tiling is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter. The optimal three-dimensional structure for making honeycomb (or rather, soap bubbles) was investigated by Lord Kelvin , who believed that the Kelvin structure (or body-centered cubic lattice) is ...

    Class II always have a harmonic of 2, since ν = 2b. The triangulation number is T = b 2 + bc + c 2. This number times the number of original faces expresses how many triangles the new polyhedron will have. PPTs with frequency 8
