The sum of the squared distances from the vertices of a regular n-gon to any point on its circumcircle equals 2nR 2 where R is the circumradius. [4]: p. 73 The sum of the squared distances from the midpoints of the sides of a regular n-gon to any point on the circumcircle is 2nR 2 − 1 / 4 ns 2, where s is the side length and R is the ...
A hyperbolic n-gon is an area bounded by n segments, rays, or entire straight lines. The standard model for this geometry is the Poincaré disk model. A major difference between Euclidean and hyperbolic polygons is that the sum of internal angles of a hyperbolic polygon is not the same as Euclidean polygons.
If n = pq with p = 2 or p and q coprime, an n-gon can be constructed from a p-gon and a q-gon. If p = 2, draw a q-gon and bisect one of its central angles. From this, a 2q-gon can be constructed. If p > 2, inscribe a p-gon and a q-gon in the same circle in such a way that they share a
Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides, combining a Greek-derived numerical prefix with the suffix -gon, e.g. pentagon, dodecagon. The triangle, quadrilateral and nonagon are exceptions, although the regular forms trigon, tetragon, and enneagon are sometimes encountered as well.
The area of a regular 65537-gon is (with t = edge length) A = 65537 4 t 2 cot π 65537 {\displaystyle A={\frac {65537}{4}}t^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{65537}}} A whole regular 65537-gon is not visually discernible from a circle , and its perimeter differs from that of the circumscribed circle by about 15 parts per billion .
In complex analysis, a Schwarz–Christoffel mapping is a conformal map of the upper half-plane or the complex unit disk onto the interior of a simple polygon.Such a map is guaranteed to exist by the Riemann mapping theorem (stated by Bernhard Riemann in 1851); the Schwarz–Christoffel formula provides an explicit construction.
A regular n-gon has a solid construction if and only if n=2 a 3 b m where a and b are some non-negative integers and m is a product of zero or more distinct Pierpont primes (primes of the form 2 r 3 s +1). Therefore, regular n-gon admits a solid, but not planar, construction if and only if n is in the sequence
