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
Regular polygon "n"-gon, the sum of the perpendicular distances from any interior point to the "n" sides is "n" times the apothem (the apothem being the distance from the center to any side). This is a generalization of Viviani's theorem for the "n"=3 case. The circumradius "R" from the center of a regular polygon to one of the vertices is related to the side length "s" or to the apothem "a" by For constructible polygons, algebraic expressions for these relationships exist; see Bicentric polygon#Regular polygons. The sum of the perpendiculars from a regular "n"-gon's vertices to any line tangent to the circumcircle
