2. List of polygons - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polygons

   A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain.

   The following list of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes gives the names of various classes of polytopes and lists some specific examples. Polytope elements ...

4. Constructible polygon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon

   A regular polygon with n sides can be constructed with ruler, compass, and angle trisector if and only if =, where r, s, k ≥ 0 and where the p i are distinct Pierpont primes greater than 3 (primes of the form +). [8]: Thm. 2 These polygons are exactly the regular polygons that can be constructed with Conic section, and the regular polygons ...

5. Polygon - Wikipedia

   5 [21] The simplest polygon which can exist as a regular star. A star pentagon is known as a pentagram or pentacle. hexagon: 6 [21] Can tile the plane. heptagon (or septagon) 7 [21] The simplest polygon such that the regular form is not constructible with compass and straightedge. However, it can be constructed using a neusis construction ...

6. Pentagon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon

   For the pentagon, this results in a polygon whose angles are all (360 − 108) / 2 = 126°. To find the number of sides this polygon has, the result is 360 / (180 − 126) = 6 2 ⁄ 3, which is not a whole number. Therefore, a pentagon cannot appear in any tiling made by regular polygons.

7. Pick's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick's_theorem

   Farey sunburst of order 6, with 1 interior (red) and 96 boundary (green) points giving an area of 1 + ⁠ 96 / 2 ⁠ − 1 = 48 [1]. In geometry, Pick's theorem provides a formula for the area of a simple polygon with integer vertex coordinates, in terms of the number of integer points within it and on its boundary.

8. Pattern Blocks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_blocks

   The six shapes are both a play resource and a tool for learning in mathematics, which serve to develop spatial reasoning skills that are fundamental to the learning of mathematics. Among other things, they allow children to see how shapes can be composed and decomposed into other shapes, and introduce children to ideas of tilings. Pattern ...

9. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

   Some regular polygons are easy to construct with compass and straightedge; other regular polygons are not constructible at all. The ancient Greek mathematicians knew how to construct a regular polygon with 3, 4, or 5 sides, [20]: p. xi and they knew how to construct a regular polygon with double the number of sides of a given regular polygon.
