These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two of the edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The word polygon comes from Late Latin polygōnum (a noun), from Greek πολύγωνον ( polygōnon/polugōnon ), noun use of neuter of πολύγωνος ( polygōnos/polugōnos , the masculine ...
The regular hendecagon has Dih 11 symmetry, order 22. Since 11 is a prime number there is one subgroup with dihedral symmetry: Dih 1, and 2 cyclic group symmetries: Z 11, and Z 1. These 4 symmetries can be seen in 4 distinct symmetries on the hendecagon. John Conway labels these by a letter and group order. [11]
A skew decagon is a skew polygon with 10 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such a decagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag decagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes. A regular skew decagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths.
This is a list of two-dimensional geometric shapes in Euclidean and other geometries. ... Decagon – 10 sides; Hendecagon – 11 sides; Dodecagon – 12 sides;
one degenerate polyhedron, Skilling's figure with overlapping edges. It was proven in Sopov (1970) that there are only 75 uniform polyhedra other than the infinite families of prisms and antiprisms. John Skilling discovered an overlooked degenerate example, by relaxing the condition that only two faces may meet at an edge.
An isotoxal polygon has two vertices and one edge. There are isotoxal decagram forms, which alternates vertices at two radii. Each form has a freedom of one angle. The first is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagon {5}, and last is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagram {5/2}. The middle is a variation of a regular decagram, {10/3}.
A dodecagram is a 12-sided star polygon, represented by symbol {12/n}. There is one regular star polygon : {12/5}, using the same vertices, but connecting every fifth point. There are also three compounds: {12/2} is reduced to 2{6} as two hexagons , and {12/3} is reduced to 3{4} as three squares , {12/4} is reduced to 4{3} as four triangles ...
Prisms over the hendecagrams {11/3} and {11/4} may be used to approximate the shape of DNA molecules. [6] An 11-pointed star from the Momine Khatun Mausoleum. Fort Wood, now the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York City, is a star fort in the form of an irregular 11-point star. [7]
