A direct equiangular polygon has all angles turning in the same direction in a plane and can include multiple turns. Convex equiangular polygons are always direct. An indirect equiangular polygon can include angles turning right or left in any combination. A skew equiangular polygon may be isogonal, but can't be considered direct since it is ...
A regular hexagon has Schläfli symbol {6} [2] and can also be constructed as a truncated equilateral triangle, t{3}, which alternates two types of edges. A regular hexagon is defined as a hexagon that is both equilateral and equiangular. It is bicentric, meaning that it is both cyclic (has a circumscribed circle) and tangential (has an ...
The polygon is the convex hull of its edges. Additional properties of convex polygons include: The intersection of two convex polygons is a convex polygon. A convex polygon may be triangulated in linear time through a fan triangulation, consisting in adding diagonals from one vertex to all other vertices.
Except in the triangle case, an equilateral polygon does not need to also be equiangular (have all angles equal), but if it does then it is a regular polygon. If the number of sides is at least four, an equilateral polygon does not need to be a convex polygon : it could be concave or even self-intersecting .
The dual of a non-convex polyhedron is also a non-convex polyhedron. [2] (By contraposition.) The dual of an isotoxal polyhedron is also an isotoxal polyhedron. (See the Dual polyhedron article.) There are nine convex isotoxal polyhedra: the five Platonic solids, the two (quasiregular) common cores of dual Platonic solids, and their two duals.
With a final vertex 3 4.6, 4 more contiguous equilateral triangles and a single regular hexagon. However, this notation has two main problems related to ambiguous conformation and uniqueness [2] First, when it comes to k-uniform tilings, the notation does not explain the relationships between the vertices. This makes it impossible to generate a ...
[2] [3] A kite may also be called a dart, [4] particularly if it is not convex. [5] [6] Every kite is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral (its diagonals are at right angles) and, when convex, a tangential quadrilateral (its sides are tangent to an inscribed circle). The convex kites are exactly the quadrilaterals that are both orthodiagonal and ...
In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles.It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle.
