  2. Pentagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon

    In geometry, a pentagon (from Greek πέντε (pente) 'five' and γωνία (gonia) 'angle' [1]) is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. A self-intersecting regular pentagon (or star pentagon) is called a pentagram.

    A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. 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.

  4. Equilateral pentagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_pentagon

    In geometry, an equilateral pentagon is a polygon in the Euclidean plane with five sides of equal length. Its five vertex angles can take a range of sets of values, thus permitting it to form a family of pentagons. In contrast, the regular pentagon is unique, because it is equilateral and moreover it is equiangular (its five angles are equal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    For a regular polygon with 10,000 sides (a myriagon) the internal angle is 179.964°. As the number of sides increases, the internal angle can come very close to 180°, and the shape of the polygon approaches that of a circle. However the polygon can never become a circle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

    The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles.In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180(n–2k)°, where n is the number of vertices, and the strictly positive integer k is the number of total (360 ...

    Exterior angle – The exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle. Tracing around a convex n -gon, the angle "turned" at a corner is the exterior or external angle. Tracing all the way around the polygon makes one full turn , so the sum of the exterior angles must be 360°.

    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 ...
