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 polytope the vertex figure. Unlike the case for Euclidean polytopes, an abstract polytope with regular facets and vertex figures "may or may not" be regular itself – for example, the square pyramid, all of whose facets and vertex figures are regular abstract polygons. The classical vertex figure will, however, be a realisation of the abstract one. The traditional way to construct a regular polygon, or indeed any other figure on the plane, is by compass and straightedge. Constructing some regular polygons in this way is very simple (the easiest is perhaps the equilateral triangle), some are more complex, and some are
