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
Uniform polytope operation doubles the sides to {2p}. The snub operation, alternating the truncation, restores the original polygon {p}. Thus all uniform polygons are also regular. The following operations can be performed on regular polygons to derive the uniform polygons, which are also regular polygons: In three dimensions, the situation gets more interesting. There are five convex regular polyhedra, known as the Platonic solids: In addition to these, there are also 13 semiregular polyhedra, or Archimedean solids, which can be obtained via Wythoff constructions, or by performing operations such as truncation on the Platonic solids, as demonstrated in the following table: There
