2. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

   If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion, and corresponding angles of similar polygons have the same measure. Two congruent shapes are similar, with a scale factor of 1. However, some school ...

3. Corresponding sides and corresponding angles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corresponding_sides_and...

   The corresponding angles as well as the corresponding sides are defined as appearing in the same sequence, so for example if in a polygon with the side sequence abcde and another with the corresponding side sequence vwxyz we have vertex angle a appearing between sides a and b then its corresponding vertex angle v must appear between sides v and w.

4. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

   For two polygons to be congruent, they must have an equal number of sides (and hence an equal number—the same number—of vertices). Two polygons with n sides are congruent if and only if they each have numerically identical sequences (even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other) side-angle-side-angle-... for n sides ...

5. List of polygons - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polygons

   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. 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.

6. Digon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digon

   Any straight-sided digon is regular even though it is degenerate, because its two edges are the same length and its two angles are equal (both being zero degrees). As such, the regular digon is a constructible polygon. [3] Some definitions of a polygon do not consider the digon to be a proper polygon because of its degeneracy in the Euclidean ...

7. 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 ...
