    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_polygon

    A monotone rectilinear polygon is a monotone polygon which is also rectilinear. A T-square is a fractal generated from a sequence of rectilinear polygons with interesting properties. Algorithmic problems involving rectilinear polygons

    A shape is a two-dimensional design encased by lines to signify its height and width structure, and can have different values of color used within it to make it appear three-dimensional. [2] [4] In animation, shapes are used to give a character a distinct personality and features, with the animator manipulating the shapes to provide new life. [1]

  4. List of polygons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polygons

    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.

  5. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    In the visual arts, shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, or colours, or an area enclosed by other shapes, such as triangles, circles, and squares. [1] Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition. [2]

    A perimeter is a path that surrounds a two-dimensional shape. The term may be used either for the path or its length - it can be thought of as the length of the outline of a shape. The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference. Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape.

  7. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    where φ = ⁠ 1 + √ 5 / 2 ⁠ is the golden ratio. Therefore, the circumradius of this rhombicosidodecahedron is the common distance of these points from the origin, namely √ φ 6 +2 = √ 8φ+7 for edge length 2. For unit edge length, R must be halved, giving R = ⁠ √ 8φ+7 / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ √ 11+4 √ 5 / 2 ⁠ ≈ 2.233.

  8. Rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

    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.

  9. Art gallery problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_gallery_problem

    The question about how many vertices/watchmen/guards were needed, was posed to Chvátal by Victor Klee in 1973. [1] Chvátal proved it shortly thereafter. [2] Chvátal's proof was later simplified by Steve Fisk, via a 3-coloring argument. [3] Chvátal has a more geometrical approach, whereas Fisk uses well-known results from Graph theory.
