Congruence (geometry) size. (Most definitions consider congruence to be a form of similarity, although a minority require that the objects have different sizes in order to qualify as similar.) For two polygons to be congruent, they must have an equal number of sides (and hence an equal number—the same number—of vertices). Two polygons with "n" sides are congruent if and only if they each have numerically identical sequences (even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other) side-angle-side-angle-... for "n" sides and "n" angles. Congruence of polygons can be established graphically as follows: If at any time the step cannot
Hendecagram Hendecagram In geometry, a hendecagram (also endecagram or endekagram) is a star polygon that has eleven vertices. The name "hendecagram" combines a Greek numeral prefix, "hendeca-", with the Greek suffix "-gram". The "hendeca-" prefix derives from Greek ἕνδεκα (ἕν + δέκα, one + ten) meaning "eleven". The "-gram" suffix derives from γραμμῆς ("grammēs") meaning a line. There are four regular hendecagrams, which can be described by the notation Since 11 is prime, all hendecagrams are star polygons and not compound figures. As with all odd regular polygons and star polygons whose orders are not products of distinct Fermat primes, the
