In geometry, a nonagon (/ ˈ n ɒ n ə ɡ ɒ n /) or enneagon (/ ˈ ɛ n i ə ɡ ɒ n /) is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon. The name nonagon is a prefix hybrid formation , from Latin ( nonus , "ninth" + gonon ), used equivalently, attested already in the 16th century in French nonogone and in English from the 17th century.
The only equable rectangles with integer sides are the 4 × 4 square and the 3 × 6 rectangle. [4] An integer rectangle is a special type of polyomino, and more generally there exist polyominoes with equal area and perimeter for any even integer area greater than or equal to 16. For smaller areas, the perimeter of a polyomino must exceed its area.
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.
Apothem of a hexagon Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6. The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo [1]) of a regular polygon is a line
If the lengths of the three sides are known then Heron's formula can be used: () () where a, b, c are the sides of the triangle, and = (+ +) is half of its perimeter. [2] If an angle and its two included sides are given, the area is 1 2 a b sin ( C ) {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}ab\sin(C)} where C is the given angle and a and b are its ...
The regular 65537-gon (one with all sides equal and all angles equal) is of interest for being a constructible polygon: that is, it can be constructed using a compass and an unmarked straightedge. This is because 65,537 is a Fermat prime , being of the form 2 2 n + 1 (in this case n = 4).
The surface area of a right prism is: +, where B is the area of the base, h the height, and P the base perimeter. The surface area of a right prism whose base is a regular n-sided polygon with side length s, and with height h, is therefore: = +.
The lengths of the sides of a polygon do not in general determine its area. [9] However, if the polygon is simple and cyclic then the sides do determine the area. [10] Of all n-gons with given side lengths, the one with the largest area is cyclic. Of all n-gons with a given perimeter, the one with the largest area is regular (and therefore ...
