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 sum of all the internal angles of a simple polygon is π(n−2) radians or 180(n–2) degrees, where n is the number of sides. The formula can be proved by using mathematical induction : starting with a triangle, for which the angle sum is 180°, then replacing one side with two sides connected at another vertex, and so on.
A polygon with nine sides is called a nonagon. [9] A regular nonagon can be constructed with a regular compass, straightedge, and angle trisector. [10] The lowest number of squares needed for a perfect tiling of a rectangle is 9. [11] 9 is the largest single-digit number in the decimal system.
A regular enneagram is a 9-sided star polygon. It is constructed using the same points as the regular enneagon, but the points are connected in fixed steps. Two forms of regular enneagram exist: One form connects every second point and is represented by the Schläfli symbol {9/2}.
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°.
For a regular polygon with 10,000 sides (a myriagon) the internal angle is 179.964°. As the number of sides increases, the internal angle can come very close to 180°, and the shape of the polygon approaches that of a circle. However the polygon can never become a circle. The value of the internal angle can never become exactly equal to 180 ...
Each angle of a regular hexadecagon is 157.5 degrees, and the total angle measure of any hexadecagon is 2520 degrees. ... A hexadecagram is a 16-sided star polygon, ...
For every simple polygon, the sum of the external angles is (one full turn, 360°). Thus the sum of the internal angles, for a simple polygon with sides is (). [14] A triangulated polygon with 11 vertices: 11 sides and 8 diagonals form 9 triangles.
