  2. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane.

  3. Heptagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagon

    In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon.. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix; both are cognate) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle.

  4. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The quotients formed by the area of these polygons divided by the square of the circle radius can be made arbitrarily close to π as the number of polygon sides becomes large, proving that the area inside the circle of radius r is πr 2, π being defined as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter (C/d).

  5. Polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon

    A simple polygon is the boundary of a region of the plane that is called a solid polygon. The interior of a solid polygon is its body, also known as a polygonal region or polygonal area. In contexts where one is concerned only with simple and solid polygons, a polygon may refer only to a simple polygon or to a solid polygon.

  6. 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.

  7. Hendecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendecagon

    In geometry, a hendecagon (also undecagon [1] [2] or endecagon [3]) or 11-gon is an eleven-sided polygon. (The name hendecagon , from Greek hendeka "eleven" and –gon "corner", is often preferred to the hybrid undecagon , whose first part is formed from Latin undecim "eleven".

  8. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    A non-convex regular polygon is a regular star polygon. The most common example is the pentagram, which has the same vertices as a pentagon, but connects alternating vertices. For an n-sided star polygon, the Schläfli symbol is modified to indicate the density or "starriness" m of the polygon, as {n/m}.

  9. Dodecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecagon

    The regular dodecagon is the Petrie polygon for many higher-dimensional polytopes, seen as orthogonal projections in Coxeter planes. Examples in 4 dimensions are the 24-cell, snub 24-cell, 6-6 duoprism, 6-6 duopyramid. In 6 dimensions 6-cube, 6-orthoplex, 2 21, 1 22. It is also the Petrie polygon for the grand 120-cell and great stellated 120-cell.
