Regular polygon is denoted by its Schläfli symbol {"n"}. For "n" < 3, we have two degenerate cases: In certain contexts all the polygons considered will be regular. In such circumstances it is customary to drop the prefix regular. For instance, all the faces of uniform polyhedra must be regular and the faces will be described simply as triangle, square, pentagon, etc. For a regular convex "n"-gon, each interior angle has a measure of: and each exterior angle (i.e., supplementary to the interior angle) has a measure of formula_5 degrees, with the sum of the exterior angles equal to 360 degrees or
Regular polyhedron five have C×S symmetry but can only be realised with half the symmetry, that is C×A or icosahedral symmetry. They are all topologically equivalent to toroids. Their construction, by arranging "n" faces around each vertex, can be repeated indefinitely as tilings of the hyperbolic plane. In the diagrams below, the hyperbolic tiling images have colors corresponding to those of the polyhedra images. The Petrie dual of a regular polyhedron is a regular map whose vertices and edges correspond to the vertices and edges of the original polyhedron, and whose faces are the set of skew Petrie polygons.
