A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. ... 5: penta-15: pentakaideca-25: icosi-penta-50:
A regular triangle, octagon, and icositetragon can completely fill a plane vertex. An icositetragram is a 24-sided star polygon. There are 3 regular forms given by Schläfli symbols: {24/5}, {24/7}, and {24/11}. There are also 7 regular star figures using the same vertex arrangement: 2{12}, 3{8}, 4{6}, 6{4}, 8{3}, 3{8/3}, and 2{12/5}.
As n approaches infinity, the internal angle approaches 180 degrees. 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.
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.
Coxeter states that every zonogon (a 2m-gon whose opposite sides are parallel and of equal length) can be dissected into m(m-1)/2 parallelograms. [4] In particular this is true for regular polygons with evenly many sides, in which case the parallelograms are all rhombi.
Regular triacontagon with given circumcircle. D is the midpoint of AM, DC = DF, and CF, which is the side length of the regular pentagon, is E 25 E 1.Since 1/30 = 1/5 - 1/6, the difference between the arcs subtended by the sides of a regular pentagon and hexagon (E 25 E 1 and E 25 A) is that of the regular triacontagon, AE 1.
A regular icositrigon has internal angles of degrees, with an area of = = , where is side length and is the inradius, or apothem. The regular icositrigon is not constructible with a compass and straightedge or angle trisection , [ 1 ] on account of the number 23 being neither a Fermat nor Pierpont prime .
Because 1,000 = 2 3 × 5 3, the number of sides is neither a product of distinct Fermat primes nor a power of two. Thus the regular chiliagon is not a constructible polygon . Indeed, it is not even constructible with the use of an angle trisector, as the number of sides is neither a product of distinct Pierpont primes , nor a product of powers ...
