Skew polygon Skew polygon In geometry, a skew polygon is a polygon whose vertices are not all coplanar. Skew polygons must have at least 4 vertices. The "interior" surface (or area) of such a polygon is not uniquely defined. Skew infinite polygons (apeirogons) have vertices which are not all collinear. A zig-zag skew polygon or antiprismatic polygon has vertices which alternate on two parallel planes, and thus must be even-sided. Regular skew polygon in 3 dimensions (and regular skew apeirogons in 2 dimensions) are always zig-zag. A regular skew polygon is isogonal with equal edge lengths. In 3 dimensions a regular skew
Skew polygon petrie polygon has. This is 5 sides for a 5-cell, 8 sides for a tesseract and 16-cell, 12 sides for a 24-cell, and 30 sides for a 120-cell and 600-cell. When orthogonally projected onto the Coxeter plane these regular skew polygons appear as regular polygon envelopes in the plane. The "n"-"n" duoprism and dual duopyramids also have 2"n"-gonal petrie polygons. (The tesseract is a 4-4 duoprism, and the 16-cell is a 4-4 duopyramid.)
