Affine-regular polygon properties of regular polygons are invariant under affine transformations, and affine-regular polygons share the same properties. For instance, an affine-regular quadrilateral can be equidissected into formula_1 equal-area triangles if and only if formula_1 is even, by affine invariance of equidissection and Monsky's theorem on equidissections of squares. More generally an formula_3-gon with formula_4 may be equidissected into formula_1 equal-area triangles if and only if formula_1 is a multiple of formula_3. Affine-regular polygon In geometry, an affine-regular polygon or affinely regular polygon is a polygon that is related to a regular polygon by an affine transformation. Affine transformations include translations, uniform
Polygram (geometry) a compound polygon. These figures are called regular compound polygons. Polygram (geometry) In geometry, a generalized polygon can be called a polygram, and named specifically by its number of sides, so a regular pentagram, {5/2}, has 5 sides, and the regular hexagram, {6/2} or 2{3} has 6 sides divided into two triangles. A regular polygram {p/q} can either be in a set of regular polygons (for gcd(p,q)=1, q>1) or in a set of regular polygon compounds (if gcd(p,q)>1). The polygram names combine a numeral prefix, such as "penta-", with the Greek suffix "-gram" (in this case generating the word "pentagram").
