    [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. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

    Regular apeirogons p{q}r are constrained by: 1/p + 2/q + 1/r = 1. Edges have p vertices, and vertex figures are r-gonal. [5] The first is made of 2-edges, three around every vertex, the second has hexagonal edges, three around every vertex. A third complex apeirogon, sharing the same vertices, is quasiregular, which alternates 2-edges and 6-edges.

  4. 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 ...

  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. 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.

    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

  8. Hexadecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecagon

    In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew hexadecagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of an octagonal antiprism with the same D 8d, [2 +,16] symmetry, order 32. The octagrammic antiprism, s{2,16/3} and octagrammic crossed-antiprism, s{2,16/5} also have regular skew octagons.

  9. Apeirogon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apeirogon

    Given a point A 0 in a Euclidean space and a translation S, define the point A i to be the point obtained from i applications of the translation S to A 0, so A i = S i (A 0).The set of vertices A i with i any integer, together with edges connecting adjacent vertices, is a sequence of equal-length segments of a line, and is called the regular apeirogon as defined by H. S. M. Coxeter.
