In
Euclidean geometry, an equiangular polygon is a
polygon whose vertex angles are equal. If the lengths of the sides are also equal (that is, if it is also
equilateral
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each oth ...
) then it is a
regular polygon.
Isogonal polygons are equiangular polygons which alternate two edge lengths.
For clarity, a planar equiangular polygon can be called ''direct'' or ''indirect''. A direct equiangular polygon has all angles turning in the same direction in a plane and can include multiple
turns. Convex equiangular polygons are always direct. An indirect equiangular polygon can include angles turning right or left in any combination. A
skew equiangular polygon may be
isogonal, but can't be considered direct since it is nonplanar.
A
spirolateral ''n''
θ is a special case of an ''equiangular polygon'' with a set of ''n'' integer edge lengths repeating sequence until returning to the start, with vertex internal angles θ.
Construction
An ''equiangular polygon'' can be constructed from a
regular polygon or
regular star polygon
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either convex, star or skew. In the limit, a sequence ...
where edges are extended as infinite
line
Line most often refers to:
* Line (geometry), object with zero thickness and curvature that stretches to infinity
* Telephone line, a single-user circuit on a telephone communication system
Line, lines, The Line, or LINE may also refer to:
Art ...
s. Each edges can be independently moved perpendicular to the line's direction. Vertices represent the intersection point between pairs of neighboring line. Each moved line adjusts its edge-length and the lengths of its two neighboring edges. If edges are reduced to zero length, the polygon becomes degenerate, or if reduced to ''negative'' lengths, this will reverse the internal and external angles.
For an even-sided direct equiangular polygon, with internal angles θ°, moving alternate edges can invert all vertices into
supplementary angles, 180-θ°. Odd-sided direct equiangular polygons can only be partially inverted, leaving a mixture of supplementary angles.
Every equiangular polygon can be adjusted in proportions by this construction and still preserve equiangular status.
Equiangular polygon theorem
For a ''convex equiangular'' ''p''-gon, each
internal angle is 180(1-2/''p'')°; this is the ''equiangular polygon theorem''.
For a direct equiangular ''p''/''q''
star polygon
In geometry, a star polygon is a type of non-convex polygon. Regular star polygons have been studied in depth; while star polygons in general appear not to have been formally defined, certain notable ones can arise through truncation operations ...
,
density ''q'', each internal angle is 180(1-2''q''/''p'')°, with 1<2''q''<''p''. For ''w''=gcd(''p'',''q'')>1, this represents a ''w''-wound (''p''/''w'')/(''q''/''w'') star polygon, which is degenerate for the regular case.
A concave ''indirect equiangular'' (''p''
''r''+''p''
''l'')-gon, with ''p''
''r'' right turn vertices and ''p''
''l'' left turn vertices, will have internal angles of 180(1-2/, ''p''
''r''-''p''
''l'', ))°, regardless of their sequence. An ''indirect star equiangular'' (''p''
''r''+''p''
''l'')-gon, with ''p''
''r'' right turn vertices and ''p''
''l'' left turn vertices and ''q'' total
turns, will have internal angles of 180(1-2''q''/, ''p''
''r''-''p''
''l'', ))°, regardless of their sequence. An equiangular polygon with the same number of right and left turns has zero total turns, and has no constraints on its angles.
Notation
Every direct equiangular ''p''-gon can be given a notation <''p''> or <''p''/''q''>, like
regular polygons and
regular star polygon
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either convex, star or skew. In the limit, a sequence ...
s , containing ''p'' vertices, and stars having
density ''q''.
Convex equiangular ''p''-gons <''p''> have internal angles 180(1-2/''p'')°, while direct star equiangular polygons, <''p''/''q''>, have internal angles 180(1-2''q''/''p'')°.
A concave indirect equiangular ''p''-gon can be given the notation <''p''-2''c''>, with ''c'' counter-turn vertices. For example, <6-2> is a hexagon with 90° internal angles of the difference, <4>, 1 counter-turned vertex. A multiturn indirect equilateral ''p''-gon can be given the notation <
''p''-2''c''/
''q''> with ''c'' counter turn vertices, and ''q'' total
turns. An equiangular polygon <''p''-''p''> is a ''p''-gon with undefined internal angles θ, but can be expressed explicitly as <''p''-''p''>
θ.
Other properties
Viviani's theorem holds for equiangular polygons:
[Elias Abboud "On Viviani’s Theorem and its Extensions"](_blank)
pp. 2, 11
:''The sum of distances from an interior point to the sides of an equiangular polygon does not depend on the location of the point, and is that polygon's invariant.''
A
cyclic polygon
In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius.
Not every polyg ...
is equiangular if and only if the alternate sides are equal (that is, sides 1, 3, 5, ... are equal and sides 2, 4, ... are equal). Thus if ''n'' is odd, a cyclic polygon is equiangular if and only if it is regular.
For prime ''p'', every integer-sided equiangular ''p''-gon is regular. Moreover, every integer-sided equiangular ''p''
''k''-gon has ''p''-fold
rotational symmetry.
An ordered set of side lengths
gives rise to an equiangular ''n''-gon if and only if either of two equivalent conditions holds for the polynomial
it equals zero at the complex value
it is divisible by
[M. Bras-Amorós, M. Pujol: "Side Lengths of Equiangular Polygons (as seen by a coding theorist)", ''The American Mathematical Monthly'', vol. 122, n. 5, pp. 476–478, May 2015. .]
Direct equiangular polygons by sides
Direct equiangular polygons can be regular, isogonal, or lower symmetries. Examples for <''p''/''q''> are grouped into sections by ''p'' and subgrouped by density ''q''.
Equiangular triangles
Equiangular triangles must be convex and have 60° internal angles. It is an
equilateral triangle and a
regular triangle, <3>=. The only degree of freedom is edge-length.

enneagram
Enneagram is a compound word derived from the Greek neoclassical stems for "nine" (''ennea'') and something "written" or "drawn" (''gramma''). Enneagram may refer to:
