  2. Triacontagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triacontagon

    Regular triacontagon with given circumcircle. D is the midpoint of AM, DC = DF, and CF, which is the side length of the regular pentagon, is E 25 E 1.Since 1/30 = 1/5 - 1/6, the difference between the arcs subtended by the sides of a regular pentagon and hexagon (E 25 E 1 and E 25 A) is that of the regular triacontagon, AE 1.

  3. Pentadecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentadecagon

    Compared with the first animation (with green lines) are in the following two images the two circular arcs (for angles 36° and 24°) rotated 90° counterclockwise shown. They do not use the segment C G ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {CG}}} , but rather they use segment M G ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {MG}}} as radius A H ¯ {\displaystyle ...

  4. Curve orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_orientation

    Selecting reference points. In two dimensions, given an ordered set of three or more connected vertices (points) (such as in connect-the-dots) which forms a simple polygon, the orientation of the resulting polygon is directly related to the sign of the angle at any vertex of the convex hull of the polygon, for example, of the angle ABC in the picture.

  5. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    As n approaches infinity, the internal angle approaches 180 degrees. 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.

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Noting that any identity matrix is a rotation matrix, and that matrix multiplication is associative, we may summarize all these properties by saying that the n × n rotation matrices form a group, which for n > 2 is non-abelian, called a special orthogonal group, and denoted by SO(n), SO(n,R), SO n, or SO n (R), the group of n × n rotation ...

  7. Rotational symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_symmetry

    An object's degree of rotational symmetry is the number of distinct orientations in which it looks exactly the same for each rotation. Certain geometric objects are partially symmetrical when rotated at certain angles such as squares rotated 90°, however the only geometric objects that are fully rotationally symmetric at any angle are spheres ...

  8. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

    Rotation formalisms are focused on proper (orientation-preserving) motions of the Euclidean space with one fixed point, that a rotation refers to.Although physical motions with a fixed point are an important case (such as ones described in the center-of-mass frame, or motions of a joint), this approach creates a knowledge about all motions.

  9. 120-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120-cell

    The 120-cell's edges do not form regular great circle polygons in a single central plane the way the edges of the 600-cell, 24-cell, and 16-cell do. Like the edges of the 5-cell and the 8-cell tesseract, they form zig-zag Petrie polygons instead. [r] The 120-cell's Petrie polygon is a triacontagon {30} zig-zag skew polygon. [ad]
